Oh Lyndsay, what a beautiful post for these magical in-between days! I loved learning about the various names for this time frame and absolutely adored the story of Madelon. Thank you for sharing ❄️❤️
Ah thank you so much for reading Alli. I’m so glad you found it a gentle read for these in-between days. I have found it fascinating to find out more about the different names, tales and experiences of this unique time of the year, and the wintry stories associated with the beautiful hellebore! xx
I really enjoy your flower oracle posts Lyndsay, it's always so interesting hearing more about what each flower means and how you link it all to the seasons too. I don't think I've seen a hellebore before, but I loved hearing about how the hellebore and snowdrops gave you that new perspective when things were tough for you in those early mothering days. The constant weighing and pressure to breastfeed is such a huge strain in the newborn days.
I am so glad to hear this Jenna, it really means a lot. Yes it can be easy to miss hellebores, perhaps because their petals bow towards the ground but I feel sure you will begin to notice them! There is something very special about winter flowers, they hold so much beauty and hope. And yes those were not easy days, but I am grateful that the season allowed me to hibernate fully. The hellebore and snowdrop will always remind of those times xx
I just love all of this Lyndsay. Thank you, again for showing me the magic and mystery of flowers. I’ve such limited knowledge and there is so much that resonates with me as I read about hellebore. What a perfect flower oracle for this very special melancholic and hopeful season. ❤️
And I adore how generous you are in sharing and lifting up fellow writers. I’m deeply honored that you mentioned me in the midst of so many beautiful and lovely souls.
Sending warmest wishes for a happy new year to you and your loved ones, my friend. xo
I am so delighted and touched to hear this Liz, I so enjoy writing them. It is wonderful to hear that you found resonance with the hellebore and yes winter is just that, melancholic yet hopeful.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful description of the Swedish middle days, it made so much sense to me.
Sending love for a magical year ahead Liz, thank you for your warmth and support always xx
A special post during a special time! I knew only some tales around this special flower but oh did I love reading all the other points. She does give hope, this blooming winter beauty, doesn’t she? (Flowers are female in German, which I love) 🌸
Ah thank you for reading Carmen. It is such a special time you are right. I am so glad you enjoyed the tales of the hellebore and yes she is such a beautiful blooming winter beauty! Does she have the same name in German? xx
As always I adore your Flower Oracle and your beautiful collection of facts and anecdotes for this micro season ‘in between’… I’ve felt in a very dream like state with lots of inspiration popping in.. and kind of don’t want it to end on Monday when school returns. I feel like I need another few weeks of no rushing and cosiness. Xxx

I'll have to keep my eye out for them when we are out and about. That's so true about winter flowers, beauty and hope, love that ❤️.
