“It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes
And pleasant scents the noses.”

– Nathaniel Parker Willis (1806–1867)

“Barnaby bright, Barnaby bright;
Longest day and shortest night”

St. Barnabas’ Day, 11 June, coincides with the summer solstice in the Old Style calendar. St. Barnabas is a saint invoked to bring peace. His flower is the ‘Midsummer Daisy’, the ox-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)

"Where we love is home—home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
— Oliver Wendell Holmes

[VenetiaJane's Garden @VenetiaJane]

Honeysuckle, another birth flower for those born in the month of June, is also called woodbine, hold-me-tight, and fairy trumpets. Its sweetly scented blooms and twining stems symbolise love and fidelity, and its fragrance is said to bring dreams of true love. #FairyTaleTuesday

‘The fair maid who, the first of May,
Goes to the fields at the break of day,
And washes in dew from the hawthorn tree,
Will ever after handsome be.’

— from The Old Nursery Rhymes, illustrated by Arthur Rackham (1867–1939). #MayDay #Folklore
