Honeysuckle (woodbine) is the birth flower of #June, along with the rose. Twined around the front door it will protect your house from harm, & placed in a vase it will attract money. To Chaucer “wodebyne” symbolised steadfastness in love. #FairyTaleTuesday Img: Cicely Mary Barker

The Speedwell Fairy
🍃💙🍃💙🍃💙🍃💙🍃
“Clear blue are the skies;
My petals are blue;
As beautiful, too,
As bluest of eyes.
The heavens are high:
By the field-path I grow
Where wayfarers go,
And “Good speed,” say I…”
—Cicely Mary Barker
And clinging, twisting, up I creep,
And climb towards the sky…

Since their first publication in 1923, Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies have enchanted both adults and children alike around the world.
If everyone decides to leave Twitter, can we least all agree to go together to an enchanted forest where we tend to woodland creatures and wild plants. We could even form a band. Who's with me?

The Lily-of-the-Valley Fairy
Gentle fairies, hush your singing:
Can you hear my white bells ringing,
Ringing as from far away?
Who can tell me what they say?

Lily of the Valley is one of the lilies of #Easter. Originally linked to Ostara, the ancient Germanic goddess of #spring, the flower symbolises the arrival of new light & life. #Easter2022 #SuperstitionSat Image: Cicely Mary Barker
I think we could all use a fairy to ease our hearts in this world.
