🩷🌿'tis still too early for the lovely Rosa Gertrude Jekyll by David Austin #rose s to make her entry💃🏻 for an #April #RoseWednesday so here's a #Throwback to summer #rose #gardens - to wish all the #Flowers folk happy Wednesday wanders 💜🌿🌹 #Flowers OfTwitter

In #Dartmoor #Legend an old lady tended her bonny #garden 🌷🌿 One night she heard music & looking out saw #pixies dancing on the lawn by swaying #tulip s 🌷🎶Looking closer, each #tulip held a sleeping pixie baby rocked in its #flower cradle 💜 #MythologyMonday #MagentaMonday 🌷

💙🌿In European #folklore to find out if someone is truthful, hang a wreath or bouquet of #bluebells over a doorway they must enter. The longer someone has bluebells around them, the more the truth will out! Happy #FolkloreSunday to all #wildflower folk 💜🌿💙 #wildflower hour

The Spring-flowering #wildflower Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea) is also called 'Jack-in-the-Lantern', after the goblin that carries the 'ignis fatuus' or 'foolish fire', a ghostly light seen by travellers at night especially over bogs, swamps and marshes. #FolkloreSunday

🌷🍃Following in the footsteps 🐾of VenetiaJane's Garden 's storm ruffled #Tulips ... here's an old favourite windswept #froufrou damsel from the campus #tulip #garden to wish all the #Flowers folk happy #MagentaMonday 💜🌱🌷 #flowerphotography

In Turkish #folklore Princess Shirin’s father opposed her #love for stonemason Farhad, to whom he sent word Shirin had died. Overcome by grief, Farhad killed himself. Shirin then found him & killed herself. Their blood formed first #tulip 🌷 #FolkloreSunday #FlowerReport 🌷💜

🐣🌿In northern #Folklore 'tis deemed unlucky to bring #daffodils indoors before eggs hatch. As their colour is akin to that of newborn chicks🐥you must leave the #Flowers outside or #eggs won’t hatch! Happy #Folklore Sunday #Easter Sunday #Easter to all the #FLOWER folk 🌼🌿

Bonne journée ☀️

🌸🌿💜For the final #RoseWednesday of #March2024 it's a #Throwback trip to the summer #RoseGarden (with supporting cast) to wish all the #Flowers folk a peaceful #Wednesday 🌸🌿☮️🕊️ #Flowers Photo #roses #GardeningTwitter

Pulsatilla vulgaris is known as the ‘Pasque flower’, a name said to have been given because it flowers around #Passover and #Easter . In olden times it was believed a Pulsatilla flower wrapped in red cloth and carried about one’s person would ward off illness. #LegendaryWednesday

🩵🌿🩵A little bunch of #TuesdayBlue Chionodoxa Blue 'Luciliae' (I think, but won't enter the hot debates about #Scilla classification systems 🧐🤔) to wish all the #woodland #FlowersOfTwitter Team a very happy #tuesdayvibe 🩵🌿🩵 🪻 Stephanie Holt🦊 VenetiaJane's Garden Nick 🪻

A combination of fast solar winds and the recent arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun, could lead to the #aurora being seen tonight, especially across the north of the UK

💜🌿🐍In #folklore snake's head fritillary (F. Meleagris) #Flowers were said to spring up in the Romans' footsteps. The #flower was also thought akin to the leper's bell; one of its many folk names is #Lazarus bell. Happy #FolkloreSunday to all the #spring #wildflowers folk 💜🌿

“Thus came the lovely spring with a rush of blossoms and music…” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807- 24th March 1882).
Pear blossom, a snake’s head fritillary, Narcissus ‘Thalia’, Balkan anemones, Viburnum tinus and a magnificent Magnolia flowering in my #garden . #SixOnSaturday
