Hubs and I were in our garden on the weekend. We were quietly chatting, I mentioned to him how it dawned on me how very rarely I see lady bugs. And then I realised it had been some months since I had come across one.

Fun Fact - Lady bugs are very important to our ecosystem. They eat pests like aphids, mites and scale insects like slaters.

They also pollinate flowers and plants.

The next day I was working at a local school (I work part-time as a relief EA - it’s great and love it) and this young boy wearing a Super Man suit came running up to me with a lady bug cupped in his hand and a huge smile on his face.

I was chuffed. It felt like a wink from the flower goddess. Lady bugs are super present, even when we can’t see them.

It reminded me how nature has her own quiet way of reaching us and moments like these that makes us pause. We don’t need to go searching; she always finds a way to remind us we’re part of something greater.

In Wildflower Musings - my weekly newsletter, we chat all about how nature and flower healing can guide us back to the simple things, to pause and acknowledge the beauty and power of nature.

This past weekend was one of complete admiration. I was lucky enough to attend The Festival of Fiction curated by Tess Woods and Associate Director Amanda Kendle at Edith Cowan University, Joondalup. It's a literary festival celebrating all things fiction .. and some non-fiction writing and stories.

Being an avid reader and a lover of writing and stories, I wouldn't have want to be any where else.

Workshops and panel discussions ensued - one of the best was an incredible interview between Amanda Kendle with Tim Winton - it was blooming fantastic I felt so lucky to be there! It was a magic weekend of community and like minded who love the power of words and story.

Meeting in the flesh Mem Fox (Author of Where's The Green Sheep? And Possum Magic) Tim Winton (Cloudstreet, Breathe, Juice and so many others - Ningaloo is his latest - Kids Picture book) and also Tasma Walton - I am Nannertgarrock - A story of her 4 times great grandmother - it's so powerful and a must read - This has for sure has been a year highlight.

It was one of those soulful enriching weekends - one I will remember for some time.

The power of story can help us heal. It gives our voice a place and our wisdoms shared is so incredibly powerful.

If you love books, you love to read and you love a good story, you'll love this. Next years is no doubt already in the planning.

Here's an article you mind find helpful if you suffer from constant overthinking. When we can calm the mind, even for a short time we can gain energy, rather than feeling constantly depleted. It's a thing and a theme for this week.

Bowen and Flower Healing can support us to simply relax, connect bring relief and even help us get to the bottom of thoughts or things that seem to constantly plague us.

It's all part of being beautifully human, yet we can channel this in new ways that support and not undermine what we need to do or be.

Amano Flower Essence was designed to support and calm the mind. When healing is needed sometimes our minds will ramp up to gain our attention to simply stop and check in. Link in comments

This is our green masterpiece. The very beginnings of rebuilding the soil in our veggie patch.

You may or may not know it's important to rebuild soil after using it to grow things like corn or tomatoes as these plants up take a lot of nitrogen. So .. we're using Green Manure to rebuild it.

Green Manure is the use of "greens" - plants such as legumes (like clover, peas, beans) to fix nitrogen. The specific plants chosen for a green manure mix depend on the climate and the season they are planted. We're using mustard, warrigal greens, rocket and legumes.

These greens will be cut down before they seed and then placed on top of the growing crop.

They’ll grow for another month and then we'll place hay to breakdown the "greens', rebuilding the soil for a summer tomato crop. I'll post our progress as we go.

We're in the process of overhauling our garden. It's been my dream to create a healing garden adding flowers and spaces to our green haven.

We've replaced many plants with local native flowering plants.

They're water wise, bring in the pollinators such as birds and bees. Bringing their healing magic and messages of insight. Yes I talk to our plants 🌱 🌻 😄.

Our next step is maximising our water usage and adding in new retic ..

Spring has sprung. After some time with family and celebrating my youngest daughter finishing school I honoured it all with a day amongst the flowers with fellow flower lover, Jo Wilson.

BEing amongst the orchids and Everlastings and learning about our local natives was the elixir I needed. We attended one of Kings Parks Free Wildflower Walks.

Fun Fact - many of our WA orchids all need a fungi friend in their surrounding soil to help them grow. Many of our orchids do not pollinate so they rely on their bright colours and presence to attract the birds and the bees they need to self seed. I find it all so fascinating.

If you're looking for something to do over the next weeks or even in the school holidays - I highly recommend the WildFlower Walk in Kings Park - they run twice daily 7 days a week!

Happy Days 🌸

A full moon eclipse, which peaks early tomorrow morning, marks the beginning of “Ancestors Fortnight” (see for more). It's frigging powerful.

The next 14 days are a time to reflect, bring healing, and give attention to those who have come before us. We’re in strange times, and I think sometimes looking back to move forward is necessary.

I’m currently in Melbourne honouring the passing of my dear uncle. He was a trailblazer for the Chelsea Football Club and founded the National Golf Club in Rosebud. Later, he retired and became their Green Keeper, nothing like tending a golf course in retirement. He lived life to the fullest, making time for everyone, his beloved Richmond Football Club, and his cherished family.

It's been an honour to hear stories of his life, reconnect with our Melbourne family, fill in gaps that were missing, and heal hearts from past pangs. I’m now researching our family tree and reconnecting in ways that were deeply needed.

I’ve heard family stories of pain and missed opportunities. It all feels so cosmically timed. Deep. Healing. Relieving. Powerful.

Eclipses fast-track our inner and outer development. They've the power to lift us up and out of places we’ve outgrown and move us into new beginnings. It seems to all start and end in the first place we begin - our family.

Especially today, being Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all who celebrate - those with us and passed on.

This ancestral window closes on the new moon on the 22nd, for us in Perth, the day before the Spring Equinox.

This feels like a cosmic spring clean. A blooming potent and powerful one.

The flower essences that support ancestral healing and clear out our energetic psyche in subtle yet potent ways are Angelsword (Pic below) and Boab. These flowers aren’t just for this moon, but for this whole cycle. Both may support this process.

Flower Essences are vibrational healing at its best. They settle into your energy field and guide you deep into where your attention needs to go, not externally, but internally, so you can meet yourself with sensitivity, release what intuitively needs to go, and integrate what's needed.

They're powerful. Flower Allies are here to support our soul and emotional evolution.

If you’d like to know more about flower healing and gain further insights into what you need, you can book a powerful flower essence reading or simply join my newsletter. Both links are below.

Happy Full Moon.

We had our Flower Mandala Healing Workshop on Sunday. It was THE best way to welcome and celebrate ourselves and spring!

It’s taken a day or two for me to truly put into words just how beautifully our Flower Mandala Workshop was received on Sunday. I share deeper reflections in my newsletter.

We began with a mindful floral tea intention and flowed through to intimate connection experiences with the flowers. All designed to awaken the senses to the healing energy of flowers and nature.

There’s a special magic in working with plants and flowers, selecting those that call to your heart, feeling into their natural resonance, and experiencing their gentle healing energy. Every person and their mandala blossomed into unique expressions of nature’s restorative and creative power.

The biggest heartfelt thanks to Cath Inman (), who embraced this idea and welcomed us into her extraordinary artist retreat in Kalamunda. Creating together in her inspiring space was just pure joy.

Such a powerful and uplifting day for everyone who joined. Cath and I are dreaming up more for next spring, and I can’t wait to do it all again.

If these flowery workshops spark your interest, I’ll be holding similar workshops through the coming year for 2026. Sign up for my newsletter (link below) for updates.

Happy Spring!

Happy Wattle Day - Our most beautiful Acacias are always worth celebrating.

In a recent study, archaeological findings on Martu Country in the Western Desert reveal that wattle and other Acacias have been used by Aboriginal people for food, medicine, and tools for more than 50,000 years.

You can read more about this amazing find in the link in comments.

Wattle as an essence humbles us. It brings calm to the mind and helps focus thoughts, gently guiding us to face life’s choices with clarity. It nurtures awareness, supporting a wise and steady outlook that helps us move safely through challenges.

Happy Wattle Day!
