Since it is the month of May and Mary,a lot of search was going on vigorously about flowers. It has been found that a great month to to honour Our Lady and see various blooms.
It was on my search of flowers that ended up with ideas of creating Mary garden this month as this is a month with lot of blooming flowers, beautiful scents, hovering flies. Many flowers like bluebells, daisies, pansies, petunias, tulips, blossoms are seen this time of spring
Did you know that many flowers have Marian names? Marigolds, Rose of Sharon, Rosemary, Lavendar etc.. That has amazed me with so many flowers and plants you know has Marian names. You can even create Mary's garden in your own outdoor garden or indoor within a pot. Plants and trees with Marian names can be planted along with a Mary statue reminder of great love of Our Lord and Lady and God's creation.
People saw reminders of Mary in their daily lives and found something special in many of these herbs and flowers, Book of Mary's flowers mention as ancient legend says fragnant flowers and herbs reflected Mary's spiritual sweetness and soothing .Mary's garden were very common in medieval times and the ideas has been originated in 5th Century. Lots of information are found in here starry mantle, fish eaters, pinterest, mommy erin, catholic icing and lookat him.
This has inspired me to grow a Mary Garden which just initiated, started planting some flowers and herbs in our front garden with marigold, petunia, fuchsia, thyme etc...
Some of the Marian names of the common flowers and herbs.
Marigold; Mary's gold
Petunia; Mary's praises
English Daisy; MaryLoves
Calendula; Mary's bud
Lavender; Flight to Egypt
Daffodil; Mary's Star
Tulip; Mary's prayer
Rosemary; Dewdrops of Mary/ nosegay
Rose; Mary's rose
Thyme; The virgin's humility (Mary's Flowers...)
Yesterday we went to Fletcher park and Parsonage garden in Didsbury started in 19th century, which was so beautiful with wide array of beautiful sweet scented flowers with various hovering bees sucking the nectar. Felt like a day in Garden of Eden and children just took some guides to learn the names of some flowers. Enjoyed the beautiful sunshine too.
Another beautiful thing of May is Crowning , which was done last week as a gesture to honour Mary. Children beaded crown and each of them got the chance to crown three of our statues.
Ad Jesum Per Mary
