Gorgeous, Lyndsay. I most definitely felt drawn into the magic and softness of the dahlia. The pace of the unfolding of dahlias speaks to me, especially in autumn. And I absolutely loved reading a bit more about them, as I’ve only appreciated their colors and beauty from “afar”. And who knew it was named after a Swedish botanist?! Thanks so much for this dreamy post, my friend. Hugs to you. xx

Thank you for reading Liz. It’s gorgeous to hear that you are drawn to the magic and gentle opening of the dahlia, they are so special. I’m glad you enjoyed finding out about them, I had idea about the name origin either! So glad you enjoyed reading xx

Oh how I love to see your garden evolve in the opposite season to mine Lyndsay. Such beautiful colours and textures of autumn, and your descriptions are poetry to read. Flowers capturing my heart in spring down here are the foxgloves, poppies, apple blossoms and the last of the lilacs.

Ah Stephanie I actually felt exactly the same when I had a moment to glance at your seed sowing post which I have bookmarked to return to and respond to as I felt so nourished and inspired by it! I am so glad you are enjoying receiving a taste of autumn in London. And oh to the foxgloves, they totally caught me by surprise this year, I had no idea they had self-seeded, I totally fell in love with them. And I love poppies and apple blossom, and lilacs are beyond special, that scent, their fleeting presence! Thank you for this spring love xx

I've come back to this post a few times Lyndsay, just to sink into your beautiful words. I really enjoy your flower oracle posts - it's so interesting how the messages of these autumn flowers tie in with the seasonal energy of autumn too.

Ah Jenna, thank you so much for reading and revisiting, it means a lot. And yes it is interesting, I had no idea when I was drawn to these three flowers that they would have celestial connotations uniting them and there messages would feel so appropriately otherworldly for autumn! So glad you enjoyed reading xx

Purest beauty in written word dearest! I am always in awe of the way you bring such a poetic and magical sense to your pieces. I love your flower oracles, I learn so much. I have to admit to not always seeing the Aster and Cosmos as anything ‘that special’ but you have totally changed that. I do love a Dahlia though, I managed to grow them once and haven’t been successful since… I think it was a fluke! All three feel very special. Xxx

Thank you dear one. I am so glad you enjoyed reading and are now seeing the Cosmos and Aster in a different light. I loved finding out their star/universe/celestial connotations, as above so below ✨ dahlias are another level of magical, I am so happy when I’m in the dahlia cutting fields. Wow so wonderful you had dahlia success once upon a time, I hope the dahlia luck will return for you next year! xx
