Back in the mid 40's my aunt had a Maypole dance for my two cousins and me - maybe a few others - I must have been about 6 - but this coneflower reminds me of the streamers we held onto as we danced around the pole
I remember when my son was in kindergarten his teacher had the class do the May Pole Day Dance, it was lovely. I had never heard of it before. That was in 1986. 😃 nice memories.
I remember when I was 5 or so going to one of the churches in town for a Maypole dance. I guess it was a nursery school function but all I remember is the big pole, the streamers and how it looked like a candy cane when we'd finished winding all the streamers around it. Pretty cone flower!
