Common Hawthorn
Common Hawthorn is a very thorny bush or small tree and is extensively planted as a hedge plant, especially for agricultural use, but can also frequently be found in the forest.
It blooms in spring with abundant white flowers. However, these flowers have a faint scent of rotting meat, which results in pollination of the flowers by flies rather than by bees.

I think its fruit is more well-known like its bloom. Beautiful captured flowers in the soft shadow.bw
