In the language of flowers, the Zinnia, native to Mexico, symbolises friendship and loyalty. It conveys sentiments such as “I miss you,” “you are in my thoughts,” or “where there is love there can be no separation.” #FlowersOnFriday #FlowerFridayFamily
Collage of four zinnia flowers at different stages of bloom, showing pale green, pink, and yellow petals against a blurred green background.

“Robins appear when loved ones are near.” In British folklore, the robin is seen as a spirit messenger, a bird of comfort and compassion. Its appearance is often thought to be a brief visitation from a loved one’s spirit, perhaps at a time of passing or mourning. #FolkloreSunday
A European robin perched on a branch, its bright orange-red breast glowing against soft brown and grey feathers. Fresh green leaves are unfolding around it, with a blurred background of pale spring light.

A legend tells of an old man suddenly struck blind. His only hope was a magical rose belonging to the Fairy King’s daughter, blooming in a sunlit realm far away. With help from the fae, his sons found the rose—when they touched it to his eyes, his sight returned. #RoseWednesday
Close-up of two pink roses in bloom—one fully open with golden stamens at its centre, the other partially closed in a tight swirl of petals. The flowers are set against green foliage, with a glimpse of a purple geranium in the background.
