On Azura Isle, where the waves serenade the shore with an endless melody 🌊, there wandered a maiden named Rosaline, with curls as dark as the raven's wing and eyes like pools of starlight. A single hibiscus, the isle's bloom, nestled in her hair, a splash of pink against the onyx tresses 🌺.
Rosaline was a vision in her floral bikini, a symphony of turquoise and coral that echoed the vibrant life beneath the island's waves. The fabric kissed her skin like a gentle zephyr, its ribbons and ties a dance of elegance and grace.
She walked the beach with the poise of a queen, her laughter the tinkling of glass in the wind, her presence a soothing balm to the bustling life of the isle. Rosaline, the isle's beloved, spent her days basking in the golden sun, her heart beating in unison with the rhythm of Azura's heart 💖.
Today, she collected seashells, each one a treasure more precious than the last, a token of the isle's love for her, a love she returned tenfold with every soft step upon its sandy canvas.

✨Hibiscus IV Tea✨
I cannot get over the colors, and how well they look together. I honestly was just kinda picking between a couple palettes and picked two different ones at random (one for the pole, the other for the fungus and tea), I was not expecting them to actually look good

National Flower Day
National Flower Day is on March 21 every year, right after the first official spring day. Flowers in spring have that extraordinary quality that words can’t do justice to. We can practically sniff everything beautiful about spring — that unmistakable scent of hope and renewed energy. Colorful buds and petals, slowly peek their heads up to meet the sun. Flowers perfectly embody the emotions associated with spring. Gifting flowers is always a good idea. Few things can uplift spirits the way flowers do. Do you want to make someone feel special? Mark an occasion? Or perhaps need a mood-uplift yourself? Say what you need to say with flowers, today and always.

The earliest connection between flowers and their importance to humans dates back to the paleolithic age with the discovery of flower fossils. Similarly, gifting flowers has always been central to life and culture. Across civilizations, flowers would feature prominently in ancient myths and stories.

Flowers have bloomed on Earth and in our hearts throughout history as we know it. They bring an extra spring to our steps. Add color to mundane days. Flowers can convey love, joy, and strength through every season or reason. Their fragrance and beauty bring cheer to anyone’s day.
National Flower Day in March reminds us to pause and appreciate nature’s art. The holiday is perfect for planting more flowers. You could gift flowers to someone or even yourself. It’s a great day for a long stroll in the park or a short hike. To stop and smell the roses, tulips, or camellias. As you soak in pops of color in gardens everywhere, it’s hard not to radiate the same joy.
If you’ve been dreaming of spring blooms throughout the winters, today’s perfect to prep for spring gardening. This special day helps us get ready for warm weather.
