		The may blossom appears on the tree at the beginning of May in the south of England, at the time of the Beltane or May Day celebrations, when people and houses were decked with may blossoms ("bringing home the May").

		I submit that 15º North resonates to the May Queen and 15º South to the Hallowe'en Jester.
