Welcome to June
“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

June brings about so much change – in the garden, in our wardrobes, in our moods. A month to get out there and embrace nature, celebrate Dad or ring in a new life as a June bride.
June’s birth flower is the Rose. This flower and shrub of the Rosa genus are usually found in the Northern Hemisphere and are available in colours ranging from red and pink to white and yellow. Latin ‘rosa’ and Greek ‘rhodia’ are the words that led to the naming of the rose.
Hidden messages of roses include “I Love You” (red), “I Am Worthy Of You” (white), “You Are My Secret Love” (orange), “You Are Heavenly” (white), “I Am Not Worthy Of Your Love” (yellow), “We Are Inseparable” (white and red) and “Please Believe Me” (pink).

The rose is also a symbol of love -iconic for passion, sensuality, ardor and devotion. In fact, the rose is a sacred symbol of the goddess Aphrodite as well as Venus, and was the favorite flower of the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra. It's also associated with Eros (Aphrodite's son), Cupid and Adonis. Rose energy is suitable for tapping into themes of fertility, renewal, truth, dreams and connecting with the divine. As a June symbol, roses express fullness of life, vitality and intense fulfillment of desires.
The gemstones most often associated with the month of June include the Pearl and Moonstone.
Pearls are symbolic of purity, a theme often touted in weddings (which often take place in the month of June). The propensity for purity comes from a long process of churning out impurity - expelling debris and irritants from the mollusk shell resulting in the birth of lustrous pearl. According to the 13th century physician, Castile, the pearl is a medical marvel - restoring strength, induces heart palpitation and a cure of melancholy

The Moonstone as its name implies, this gemstone of the feldspar family has strong lunar energy due to its opalescent, moon-like appearance. It is a stone that encourages connections with emotions, dreams, and is purported to aid in the relief of depression
