A Romanian legend tells that when the Sun asked the pretty maiden Doamna Florilor (Lady of the Flowers) to wed him she refused. He took revenge by transforming her into a Chicory plant, and forever condemned her flowers to awake at sunrise and fade before sunset. #MythologyMonday

An Australian Aboriginal legend tells that when the creator god Byamee returned to the Land of Rest the bees followed & the flowers withered. The elders embarked on an arduous journey to find Byamee, who rewarded them by sending back the bees and the flowers bloomed. #WorldBeeDay
May is the loveliest month in our garden, now the beautiful beech tree is coming into leaf and we’ll soon be in dappled shade #sixonsaturday
So many flowers on the dead nettle (lamium orvala) this year and happy bees too💕🐝 I’m hoping it will encourage more butterflies too🦋

Lily of the Valley is the birth flower of May. It is said that when the fairies take a rest from their work to make merry on #MayDay morn, they hang their dew-gathering cups on grass stems. As the sun rises they are magically transformed into Lily of the Valley flowers. #folklore

It is said that when Father Sun and Mother Moon’s star-children stray too far from home they fall down to Earth. Unable to bring them back, Father Sun transforms them into sun-like dandelion #flowers that gradually change into tiny parachuting stars and try to fly home. #folklore

There comes a Day,
One of those glorious deep blue days,
When larks are singing and bees are humming,
And Earth gives voice in a thousand ways -
Then I, my friends, I too shall sing,
And hum a foolish little thing,
And whistle like a blackbird in the Spring. ~A.A.Milne #EarthDay
Such a lovely morning after so much rain!☀️ these pretty anemones have self-seeded under our hawthorn hedge💜
