1-Add a phrase April showers bring May flowers that bloom nicely. 2-Add dependent clause Many people believe April showers bring May flowers. 3-Add an independent clause Spring is here, and April showers bring May flowers.
April showers bring May flowers and allergies. April showers bring May flowers, which is my favorite time of year. April showers bring May flowers, and we can then plant our garden.
But, Logan, "which" makes the object of the prior clause into the subject of the latter clause, so it sounds like you are saying "May flowers is my favorite time of year", which makes no sense.
