July — Water Lily & Dragonfly
Otherworldly in its unique cycle of growth, the water lily is also called Nymphea, named for the feminine souls said to inhabit nature in Greek mythology. A symbol of pleasure and peace, the water lily transforms itself from seed pod to full bloom just as the dragonfly exchanges its pupal body for iridescent wings.
August — Poppy & Paleartic Butterfly & Bumblebee
Rife with magic and mystery, brilliant red poppies have always existed at the heart of this world’s lore, known as bearers of prosperity, rebirth, and eternal sleep. Visited by delicate, blue wish granters—palearctic butterflies—their meaning transforms to one of soulfulness and joy, discovered through a fresh stroke of luck.
September — Morning Glory & Hummingbird
Unfurling its lush petals at the first stroke of dawn, the morning glory is a sign of power and growth through tendrils of adversity. Paired with the tenacious hummingbird moth, it offers a person the power to trust themselves deeply, and realize their hopes and dreams.
October — Cosmos & Clouded Yellow Butterfly
Believed to hold the entire world’s order atop their stately stems, Cosmos were named peace-bringers and guardians of nature whose eternal harmony is glimpsed in the perfect arrangement of their petals. The clouded yellow butterfly peeks out between a rainbow of color, offering joy and prosperity like a glimpse of the sun.
November — Chrysanthemum & Honey Bee
Tucked among a Chrysanthemum’s slender petal are promises of devotion, loyalty, happiness, and longevity—abundant gifts coupled by the honey bee’s diligence and pure intention to face an approaching winter.
December — Narcissus & Honey Bee
Paperwhite Narcissus blooms in the heart of winter, a brilliant streak of hope and joy in the midst of the darkest nights. Connected to renewal and prosperity, these fragile white blooms play host to bees, the protectors of the natural world.
