Every month I’ve been trying to launch my Birth Flowers a little earlier than the night before the month begins, and finally almost 8 months in I’ve achieved 3 days earlier!! It might not be perfectly timed, but like nature, these things cannot be rushed.

Gladiolus and Poppy are August’s two birth flowers. Gladiolus for strength, integrity and passionate love that can pierce the heart, a flower of courage and deep feelings.

Paired with one of the most delicate of flowers, with papery petals that speak of dreaminess, imagination and remembrance.

Together they reflect the spirit of those born in August, passionate and strong, yet full of deep feelings. People of both courage and creativity, who intensely love.

Like all my birth flower cards, each card is a sweet bouquet of the flowers that represent those born that month and the reserve, using the Victorian language of flowers, tells the story of the symbolism, and how they reflect the personalities of that month. Perfect for deep thinkers and nature living souls.

Are you an August born or is someone you love dearly?

The Magpie, are you a believer in sorrow or joy?

With my new found love of the Merlin Bird ID app this week, my stories have never been so alive with comments when I shared my discoveries.

I have yet to capture the chatter of a magpie but this bird became my fascination after watching the BBC Dectorists and its love she stealing shiny objects.

The Magpie has probably the most stories attached to it. From tales of witches to how many you count and if you should salute them.

Did you know these tales, or are they new to you?

Whether you are a lover or hater, you can never deny there is something quite Mystical about the Magpie!

Happy Birthday such an inspiration to so many generations.

So many memories of Sundays sat with family watching our favourite nature programmes. They obviously sparked my obsession and connection to nature, like many others.

No nature programme is complete without your voice
