The flower and herb I have been studying over the last week has been St.Johns wort so made a pixel art of it.
In European folklore St.Johns wort (AKA Hypericum perforatum) has strong connections to protecting against spirits and St.John’s Eve was the day that the herb was the most potent. June 23rd.
It has strong associations with midsummer. It was also used in love spells as well.
‘My primary goal in #astrophotography is to unveil the hidden beauty of the night sky beyond the visible stars. I’m especially passionate about showcasing our galaxy, the Milky Way, in all its glory’
The #project will include a number of activities, such as the possible #reintroduction of lost wildlife like butterflies, rare #plants & beavers & the moving of #funghi to restore #soil.
Plant of the Year winners at #RHSChelsea - first Prunus Starlight; second Cosmos Cherry Chocolate and third (my favourite) Mangave Praying Hands. Read more about the plants and others shortlisted in the link.
The hope is the information could lead to more protections for the region's natural richness, which is overshadowed by news of drug trafficking & migrant smuggling.
