🌹🌹 A month of roses!
Did you know that June’s official birth flower is the rose? While often associated with love and passion, roses are also a symbol of freedom and non-violent resistance. Some say that the rose bush’s thorny stems are a metaphor for the unpleasant side-effects of obtaining one’s desires.
June’s secondary flower is honeysuckle, which represents devotion and unity in love.
Learn more about these two flowers as well as birth flowers in the link in our bio here.

Tune in to June's night sky! You may be more entertained by nature than rewatching your favorite streaming series.
June’s night sky highlights include the Full Strawberry Moon (tomorrow) and many opportunities to spot the brightest planet, Venus, as it approaches maximum brightness for the year (around the Fourth of July). Look west after sunset!
There is also a fun gathering of Mars, Venus, and a crescent Moon on June 21 that we are calling the Summer Solstice Social!
Learn everything you need to know about the night sky in our calendar of sky events in our site.

Poppies are often the first type of vegetation to regrow on destroyed battlefields. After World War I, red poppy flowers “popped” up and became a symbol for military sacrifice.
These delicate blooms also represent “peace” — an association that goes back thousands of years ...

You’ve seen these lovely white flowers before—even if you didn’t know their name. Queen Anne’s lace grows wild across the continental United States, from May till October. For this reason it’s known as an American classic.
Its scientific name is Daucus carota but it is sometimes referred to as wild carrot or bishop’s lace.
It’s also known as bee’s nest or bird’s nest flower because the stems curl upward and form a cup-shaped basket that looks like a nest as its flowers ripen and form seeds
This flower also has some ancient history in folk medicine.
🪴In Ancient Greece, crushing Queen Anne’s Lace seeds was thought to prevent pregnancy.😳
🪴Historically, this flower was used by herbalists as an antiseptic and diuretic.
🪴Its root, graded and blended with oil, was believed to soothe burns.
Today we mostly use Queen Anne’s in bouquets or sometimes jewelry.

Did you know that full Moons are a great time to let things go?
Honor the Flower Moon by taking time for yourself tonight.
1) Take a relaxing walk under the moonlight or dance to release any pent-up energy!
2) Soothe your body and mind in a hot bath. (Flower petals and essential oils would make it special for the "Flower" Moon.)
3) Express gratitude in some way. Write a letter to a friend to say thank you or light a candle to honor someone who has passed.

It’s Back! Mercury Retrograde starts today and lasts until May 14!! ☿️
During this time, the planet will appear to move backward in the night sky.
Named after the Greek messenger god Mercury (who was said to govern transportation and communication), this retrograde is believed by many to cause chaos— blaming the phenomenon for everything from arguments to lost mail to automobile accidents and warn people to hold back on conducting important business during this time.
What do you think? Are there more mishaps when Mercury is in retrograde?
