I was swept away by all of this, Lyndsay. It was truly a magical spring read. Bluebells and beauty. I will never think of or look at these two words in the same way. Thank you for this gift and for creating a space where I come for deep rest and inspiration. xo
Liz your words mean a lot, thank you for reading and for being here. And yes it’s lovely just how entwined beauty and bluebells turned out to be! I really enjoyed finding out more about them and the path they took into literature and myth! 💜💙
What a gentle reminder about cultivating beauty. I feel like I got transported to a woodland with bluebells whispering words of wisdom. Thank you for sharing.
Love the concept of beauty as a guiding force. It’s something I think of from time to time as beauty is a theme in my work. I’d love to collaborate more on this 🤔
And I can’t wait to head to our bluebell woods. Had hoped to venture down there today but the eldest wants to go to the park instead ☺️
What a magical sight. Here everything is a aflame with the colours of Autumn. Such a contrast of colour palettes. It's so lovely to peek into your Spring sights & musings Lyndsay 💙
Also, what a beautiful book The Floral ABC looks like!
Ahh yes the sea of bluebells is so magical! And yes I so often think in colour palettes and how they differ seasonally and by place. Hope autumn is unfolding beautifully for you, so glad you’re enjoying a glimpse into our springtime. Yes the book is so lovely, it is written and illustrated by a grandmother to her grandchildren with funny personal anecdotes and of course botanical wisdom! xx
Really enjoying your flower oracle posts Lyndsay! I've got bluebells ar the bottom of my garden and this year they seem to have grown higher than ever and there's lots of white ones too which I haven't seen before. I wonder if there's a meaning behind the different colours of bluebells? Our garden backs on to woodland so knowing that they are a sign of ancient woodland makes sense. So interesting that they take 4 years to appear too. Lauren's yoga nidra sounds glorious too ❤️
Thank you Jenna! It’s so lovely to hear your experience of bluebells and I can picture them at the bottom of your garden. So interesting they seem to be taller than before and that you have had lots of white ones. I’ve seen quite a few of those around us recently too and don’t really remember them before but perhaps I hadn’t fully noticed them. Apparently the true wild bluebell in white is extremely rare. Enjoy Lauren’s nidra when you get to it, it is very beautiful xx
Oh yes absolutely, they will forever be etched into that first gathering and process. It’s been wonderful to find the magic revealing itself as and when it felt needed.
Will always return to your beautiful bluebell Nidra, it moves me so.
And yes, so special to learn of their growing time and that they’ve grown along with our big/little girls xx
Ah that’s wonderful, are they within woodland near you? Such a glorious sight, I’m glad you managed to catch them, yes we are so lucky to have them 💙💜 xx

I got immersed in your words!! Thank you for the beauty-full wisdom
Ahhh it’s lovely to hear that, thank you Clau. It is more than a pleasure to share the flower’s wisdom! xx

Ah I’m so glad to hear the idea of beauty as a concept and North Star touches you too. And yes love the idea of thinking on this more, together ✨
Hope you make it to the bluebell woods soon! 💜💙
Those bluebells!

Stunning words. I will now forever remember the bluebell with new memories thanks to our event. What magic they bring.
Thank you for sharing the nidra too. A co creative weaving.
I love the thought that some of the bluebells flowering now are the ones that were still underground when we walked with our babes. Xxxx

Beautiful. I took myself off to see Bluebells yesterday, it was a gorgeous experience. We are lucky to have them in our British Isles 💙
Ah that’s wonderful, are they within woodland near you? Such a glorious sight, I’m glad you managed to catch them, yes we are so lucky to have them 💙💜 xx
I had to go to a National Trust property near me, but the display was fabulous. I'll post about it soon 💙
Ooo love a National Trust visit! I will look out for your words xx
Thank you so much for reading Avinash, I am so glad that came across. So glad you were transported into the beauty and wisdom of the bluebell woods xx
Thank you, Lyndsay. I was looking for some prompts to open up new paths for me in my notebook. Here they are.
I'm grateful for this framing of beauty. I'm looking forward to letting this land and exploring further.
