Monarch Release


MY MISSION TO SAVE THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY!

 

I thought I would share with you what my progress is this year to increase the monarch population.   I have released twenty six monarch butterflies since the beginning of the season.  I am nurturing 139 caterpillars with about 36 of them already in their chrysalis’s!  I found 30 caterpillars in my butterfly gardens just yesterday!  Here are a few captures of monarchs in my flower gardens.

 

 

The International Union for Conservation of Nature has now designated the beloved Monarch Butterfly as an endangered species!  I have been nurturing these precious souls for years.  I do not use pesticides in my yard or anywhere for that matter, I grow 3 types of milkweed all over my property and I encourage dandelions, clover and other wildflowers on my property.  I also grow several flowers for our precious pollinators!

 

I am disappointed and astonished that Frohn Township where I live is resisting my request for them to stop cutting down the milkweed down my dirt road.  Why the feel the need to do this on a road that is barely maintained, we are lucky if they grade it, insist on mowing a small three foot strip of land that is directly next to woods!  What makes this worse is I live in a state game refuge.  To me this policy of mowing the side of 1 mile stretch of dirt road is a waste of time and money and worse yet terrible for our pollinators! 

 

 Why should we care?  Well not only would it be a shame to lose this stunning butterfly, it is a danger to our ecosystem!  There are other wildlife species that depend on our lovely monarch!  We are the major cause for the decline in population because we are taking away the monarchs one and only food source milk weed!  Milkweed actually spells so sweet and pleasant too!

Golden Glee Before After


TA DA! Another new design!

Golden Glee – This is a Clouded Sulphur Butterfly on “birds foot” blooms.  This butterfly is named “Sulphur” due to its yellow color.  Sadly, this butterfly only lives for a short few days. The “bird’s foot” wildflower is a trefoil that grows wild on my property.  I love this flower as it is so bright and cheerful and the pollinators love it!  They grow in huge clusters and absolutely light up my yard!

Yellow butterfly specifically symbolize happiness and creativity.  This butterfly encourages us to cherish life and all of it’s spectacular treasures!

The butterfly is the Celtic Zodiac for those born between September 30th thru October 27th.  Those born under this sign are said to be extremely social hence the phrase, “Social Butterfly”.   They are known to have a joyful personality and a cheery disposition.  They are intuitively empathetic and people are drawn to their positive aura. 

The Mandarin Chinese word for butterfly is "hu-tieh". "Tieh" means "70 years", therefore butterflies have become a symbol for a long life.

If a butterfly crosses your path, it means good luck.

In the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be representative of young maidens and marital bliss.

In ancient Greek the word for butterfly is "Psyche", which translated means "soul". Butterflies also symbolize: Resurrection, Transition, Celebration, Lightness, Time and Soul.

Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.  Ch’I is a river pristine energy, a power that not only flows through us, but unites our tangible self, our body, thoughts, emotions and sensations to our intangible, our spirit and consciousness.  Ch’I is the crux of our pure self.

Delightful Devotion


WOWZA A NEW DESIGN!

Delightful Devotion – This is a bouquet of “King Tut” blue sweet peas that I have grown in my garden.  They are a special hybrid just absolutely gorgeous I love them in the center there is just a hint of pink!  I have placed these in a bouquet with blue and pink forget me nots, and a royal blue bachelor button.  All of which are in my flower garden.  I have been struggling to find the design that inspires me and I believe I have created 2 design similar but just can’t choose.

DID YOU KNOW

Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.  Ch’I is a river pristine energy, a power that not only flows through us, but unites our tangible self, our body, thoughts, emotions and sensations to our intangible, our spirit and consciousness.  Ch’I is the crux of our pure self.

Sweet Pea symbolism - The fragrant sweet pea is the April birth flower.  The sweet pea symbolizes blissful pleasure due to their vivid colors.  I can personally attest to this as I am filled with delight when I pass by these beauties!  Sweet peas are also given as a thank you gift because the also symbolize gratitude and devotion.  Legend has it that sweet peas entice people and inspire new friendships.

The Forget-Me-Not flower represents true faithful love, fond memories and hope. It is also a flower essence of the heart chakra.

Enigmatic Expression



Enigmatic Expression  - Another bouquet of bloom from my gardens featuring petunias and dahlias.

 

The mini petunia (superbell calibrachoa) symbolizes comfort. The Petunia presence calms adverse feelings.  The petunia also represents friendship & respect.  Specifically , pink petunias exemplify femininity and tenderness. Common these themes of the petunia are motherly love and compassion. Purple petunias symbolize fantasy, charm, and mystery. This flower has mysterious, whimsical connotations, and it can also be used to represent grace and eloquence  Purple is the most powerful visible wavelength of electromagnetic energy. It’s just a few steps away from x-rays and gamma rays. Perhaps this explains why purple is associated with supernatural energy and the cosmos than with the physical world as we know it.

 

Dahlias symbolize enduring poise, inner strength, creativity and standing strong in your morals and having integrity.  The dahlia is connected to the third eye chakra and crown chakra.  When given as a gift, the dahlia flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. It is also the symbol of a commitment bond that will last forever

Crucially symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.  Ch’I is a river pristine energy, a power that not only flows through us, but unites our tangible self,  our body, thoughts, emotions and sensations to our intangible our spirit and consciousness.  Ch’I is the crux of our pure self.

Altruistic Alleviation


WOW A NEW DESIGN!  I have been on a bit of a dry spell but I am in love with this new design created from the blooms in my flower gardens.

Altruistic Alleviation – These are all blooms from my flower gardens.  It is a bouquet of lupines, lilacs, and superbell calibrachoa (mini petunia).  I have chosen this title as I feel that we could all use some relief from the negative energy that is circulating. I have created this design in hopes it brings some beauty and positive energy into your life!

The mini petunia (superbell calibrachoa) symbolizes comfort.

Lupine symbolism - imagination, admiration, and overall happiness purple lupines represent generosity and loyalty.  They also represents the determination and kindness of the heart.

The columbine symbolizes love, desire, faith, hope, charity, justice, temperance, prudence and fortitude.  It can also mean foolishness and they Europeans thought it look like a jesters hat.

Lilacs symbolize the first emotions of love spirituality. The Celtics regarded the lilac as “magical” due to their incredibly intoxicating fragrance.

Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.  Ch’I is a river pristine energy, a power that not only flows through us, but unites our tangible self,  our body, thoughts, emotions and sensations to our intangible our spirit and consciousness.  Ch’I is the crux of our pure self.

Perpetual Passion St. Patrick's Day




Turn on Sound

                     

My new design in honor of St. Patrick’s Day

                         

Perpetual Passion

 

The Celtic knot has no beginning and no end, and represents harmony and perpetual transcendent life. The Celtic Love Knot is an emblem of everlasting love. It is believed that couple would exchange these knots like wedding rings.    I have used a different variation of the traditional Celtic love knot which is two hearts intertwined.  I have used a variation which is a combination of the trinity knot and a heart intertwined within it.  I have chosen this on as I love hearts and well it works perfectly in a mandala.  Notice that the last frame of this video is Celtic love knot mandala is action on big round Celtic knot.

 

The shamrock is three leaf clover and a type of trefoil plant.  The shamrock is a symbol in Irish antiquity.  The shamrock can be traced back to the druids and the Celtic Goddess Ana, a.k.a. Anu.  The three leaves signifying her standing as the maiden, mother and crone of Ireland.   It was in the 5th century that the patron Saint Patrick began a mission to Christianize the agnostic Celtic Pagans.  He used the three leaves of the shamrock to illustrate the holy trinity. In the 17th century the shamrock was adorned during the feast of Saint Patrick.  (Please note that this is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not a representation of my beliefs both spiritual and political)

 

The shamrock became an influential emblem in the 19th century when the Irish Nationalists crusade applied the shamrock and the harp as their insignia.  Victorian England perceived the embellishment of the shamrock as an act of rebellion and would hang those who adorned it and in doing so facilitated the shamrocks path as the unofficial national insignia of Ireland.   The shamrock is actually the flower of Ireland and the harp is the national symbol!
