Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus)

Dianthus caryophyllus, widely known as Carnation or Clove Pink, is the most popular variety of Dianthus.

The common name Carnation is thought to be derived from the Latin “corone”, which means a “garland” or “crown”, since the flowers were used to make ceremonial crowns in Greece.

The Official Mother’s Day Flower

Nowadays, Carnation is the official flower of Mother’s Day in many cultures worldwide and it is traditionally associated with this occasion.
Mother’s Day traditions began with Anna Maria Jarvis (1864 – 1948), who was the founder of Mother’s Day in the United States. She started the trend of wearing Carnation to honor her mother who passed away. After her mother’s death, Anna organized a memorial service in which she sent 500 white Carnations to all the mothers in attendance. The white Carnations was her mother’s favorite flowers. In 1912, Anna formed the Mother’s Day International Association to promote the day. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson (1856 – 1924) signed Proclamation 1268, creating a national holiday on the second Sunday in May. Today, Jarvis’ legacy lives on in our annual Mother’s Day celebration, honoring all mothers as the heroes of family life.

Benefits and Uses of Carnation

Carnation has been brewed into tea and used as a remedy to reduce fever, stomach aches, chest congestion, female hormonal imbalances and to restore energy.
It was also used to relieve stress, fatigue, depression, insomnia and to treat skin irritations and wrinkles.

Carnations have a rich history that dates back more than 2000 years.
They have inspired many artists throughout history, from ancient Greek and Roman times till today.

Carnations were often used in ancient Greek for ceremonial crowns.

They are one of the most popular wedding flowers. They are pretty, attractive, long-lasting and inexpensive.

These flowers are also popular funeral flowers around the world.

Carnations are widely cultivated for their use as cut flowers and as garden plants. Check out our article to learn more about how to grow and care for Carnations.

Flower Meaning, Symbolizes, and Spiritual Meaning – How to Prune Houseplants

As many of us have house plants that have gotten out of hand over the colder months, I thought this is a good article to share with you.

How to Prune Houseplants from almanac.com

The days are getting longer and the light is getting stronger. Both signal to your houseplants that it is time to get growing. If your plants are looking leggy and tired after a long winter, revive them by giving them a haircut. They will reward you with healthy new, compact growth. Here’s how to prune houseplants.

Prune or pinch?

Basically whether you prune or pinch depends on the size of the plant stem you wish to cut. If it is just a tender growing tip, then you can easily pinch it out between your thumbnail and forefinger. If it is thicker, some type of tool is necessary such as sharp clean scissors, a knife, or razor blade.

Where to cut?

Dormant buds await where the leaf meets the stem. They are ready to grow and send out new branches when the stem is cut just above the bud. Whether you are pruning just to shape the plant or to rejuvenate an overgrown monster, make your cuts just above a leaf node.

How much to remove?

One common rule of thumb states that we should not remove more than ¼ of the plant’s growth each season but an overgrown plant can benefit from a hard spring pruning.

What is considered hard pruning?

Vining and climbing plants such as ivies, pothos, heart-leaf philodendron, and Swedish ivy can be cut back to about 6 inches long or to whatever length you desire.

Blossoming plants can be cut back hard after they have finished blooming. Remove as much as 2/3rds of the plant to encourage plenty of new shoots that will give you more flowers during the next blossoming cycle.

Multi-stemmed plants can be cut as low as 2 to 4 inches above the soil and they will come back full and bushy.

Some single stem plants such as ficus, dracaena, hibiscus, abutilon, can also be hard pruned to just a few inches above the soil and they will send out new compact growth. Keep their tips pinched and the plants will stay bushy all summer. Be mindful of when flowering plants start to form buds and stop pinching to let them blossom.

Other single stemmed plants such as Norfolk Island pine, palms, and orchids should not be pruned at all.

A word of caution:

If your plant has any health issues or doesn’t have a strong root system, the shock of losing all its leaves could kill it! Please take the health of your plant into consideration before you start chopping.

Basket Case

Don’t be afraid to cut back the leggy ones like my pothos. It hadn’t been pruned in a couple of years and had developed lengthy, mostly leafless, stems that I just kept winding around the pot. Some of the leaves were turning yellow and it was time for it to have a fresh new do for summer. The last time I did this the plant responded almost immediately with bright new growth.

I also winter over tender perennials

like lantanafuchsiapetunias, and calibrachoa. They respond well to being cut back, repotted, and fertilized. They will be ready to pump out the blossoms as soon as they get back outside.

Fibrous wax begonias weren’t given the Latin name semperflorens—always flowering—for nothing! They earned it! An impulse buy of a 6-pack last spring blossomed non-stop all summer outside and didn’t skip a beat all winter indoors!

They didn’t even notice that they had a haircut and continue to happily bloom just waiting for their chance to go outside again.

If you’d like to make more plants, definitely try rooting your cuttings.

Remove the flowers and strip off some of the lower leaves. Then simply place in a glass of water to root.

There is no time like the present to give your houseplants a tune-up and get them ready for summer. If your plant has outgrown its pot, take advantage of this opportunity to repot it in fresh soil. If roots are cramped move it up into a larger container—not too big though, only 1 to 2 inches larger will suffice. Once nights are reliably in the 50s, start transitioning them outside for their summer vacation.

Daisy Source: uniguide.com

Daisy flower meaning and symbolism includes new beginnings, hope, innocence, fun, affection, and other sweet attributes. Daisies are part of the Asteraceae family of flowers, which includes over 32,000 species. Because of their popularity and the fact that daisies can be found on every continent except Antarctica, they are subjects in the mythology and folklore of many cultures around the world. This post will include some of those stories, as well as daisy color and spiritual meanings.

(As a side note, sunflowers are also part of the aster family of flowers, but because they are so distinct and have slightly different meanings, I wrote a separate post on sunflower meanings that you can read here.

“I keep stars in my pockets and wear daisies in my hair but I tuck you tenderly in the folds of my heart and take you everywhere.”
– Melody Lee

What does a daisy symbolize?

Here’s a quick list of what daisies symbolize. We’ll go into more detail on these throughout this post:

New Beginnings

Hope

Innocence

Fertility

Motherhood

Fun

Affection

Fidelity

Stardust

Daisy Symbolism: New Beginnings

Around the world daisy flowers are symbols of new beginnings. Blooming in spring, these charming flowers remind us of fresh starts, sunshine, and renewal. Because of this, they are often given as gifts or planted to welcome new babies into the world.

The name “daisy” actually comes from an Old English term that translates to “day’s eye.” The reason is that, like lotus flowers, daisies open up in the morning to take in the day’s sunshine and then close up again in the evening. So, the daisy reminds us that with each day, there is an opportunity to begin again.

Hope

Because they symbolize new beginnings, daisy flowers are also symbols of hope. They remind us that hope is one of the most powerful tools we have for manifesting better outcomes and a better world. Even disappointments can bring new opportunities. As the saying goes, “When one door closes and another one opens.”

Daisy Meaning: Innocence

As they are symbols of new beginnings and hope, daisy and aster flower meaning is also associated with innocence. As a result, these special flowers are representative of babies and children.

It’s important to keep in mind that innocence can apply to adults too. In this way, daisy meaning is akin to what the Buddhists describe as “having a beginner’s mind.” It means to embody a way of being and an approach to life and situations with the curiosity and enthusiasm of a child. This way, you benefit from having a fresh perspective.

Fertility and Motherhood

Just as they are associated with springtime, newborns and babies, daisies also symbolize fertility and motherhood. In fact, as you’ll read about later in this post, daisy flowers were associated with the Norse goddess Freya, who was a fertility goddess.

Daisy Symbolism: Fun

There is an easy-breezy aspect to daisy flowers. They bloom in spring, when nature is waking up, and they grow easily in a variety of conditions. Not to mention, these flowers are easy to draw. In fact, they were probably the first flowers that many of us drew as kids.

As daisies are associated with children, they are also associated with fun and lightheartedness. After all, children naturally love to laugh and have a good time.

Affection

How many of us have plucked the petals of a daisy as we played the game “He loves me, he loves me not” or “She loves me, she loves me not”? Because daisies grow easily in many locations, they are often the wildflowers picked spontaneously for a bouquet to give to someone you have a crush on. Thus, daisy flower meaning also includes affection and love.

In fact, in Victorian England, where flower symbolism was a popular pastime, giving daisies to someone meant that you returned their affection.

Daisy Meaning: Fidelity

Many of us have made daisy chains by connecting the stems of daisies together. This pastime goes back hundreds of years, to a time when daisy chains were worn as head wreaths or belts. However, the daisy chain is more than a pretty garland, as they symbolize fidelity and eternal love.

Stars

The Latin name for the Asteraceae family of flowers comes from the Latin word for “star,” which is “aster.” These flowers not only resemble bright stars, they’re also named for the Greek goddess Astraea who turned into a star. (You can read more about Astraea in the section on Greek mythology below.)

As symbols for stars, daisies remind us of something fundamental, which is that we all originated from the same source. As Joni Mitchell sang in her song “Woodstock”:

“We are stardust
Billion year old carbon…”

Daisy Color Meanings

Daisies come in a variety of bright colors, and each has special meanings. Here are some of those qualities:

White Daisy

With their white petals and yellow centers, white daisies symbolize innocence and the other classic daisy traits, such as babies, motherhood, hope, and new beginnings. White daisies make lovely gifts for new parents and newborns.

Yellow Daisy

Like sunflower symbolism, yellow daisies symbolize joy, childish fun, hope, and good luck. They make lovely gifts for friends or anyone whose spirits you want to lift.

Orange Daisy

Orange aster flowers symbolize health, healing, and optimism. They also symbolize zany, off-beat fun.

Pink Daisies

Pink daisies symbolize affection and love, including both platonic and romantic love. They are ideal gifts and lovely to plant in gardens for new babies, new moms, or friends and family.

Red Daisy

Red daisy flowers are positive symbols for wealth and prosperity. In addition, like other red flowers, they symbolize romantic love. Because the nature of these flowers is lighthearted and fun, red daisies make lovely gifts for new crushes.

In addition, as symbols of eternity and fidelity, they make wonderful gifts for long-term partners, especially when you want to rekindle the flames in your romance or reconfirm your commitment to each other.

Purple Daisy

Many daisies come in purple hues. So, like orange daisies, purple aster flowers symbolize zany fun and spontaneity. In addition, as purple is the color of peace and understanding, like other purple flowers, a purple daisy represents the kind of hope and optimism that brings people together and heals misunderstandings. Thus, it is a flower that represents unity.

Blue Daisy

As with other blue flower meanings, blue daisies symbolize long-term loyalty and trust. They’re also helpful symbols for visualization. Like wishing on a star, focusing on a blue daisy in prayer or meditation can help you to calm your mind and envision positive outcomes.

Green Daisy

Green daisies symbolize new beginnings, renewal, and growth. So, they are helpful symbols for new creative, business, or other endeavors.

Daisy Spiritual Meanings

On a spiritual level, daisy flowers represent spiritual faith and the eternal life of the soul. They also represent the possibility that we all have the opportunity to begin again, no matter the mistakes we’ve made in our past. For some, they are also symbols of reincarnation.

Associated Spirit Animals

Because they grow on every continent except Antarctica, the daisy plays an important role in the natural ecosystems where they grow. As a result, they share synergies with the wild animals and insects in their natural habitats.

For example, rabbits and deer love to eat daisy flowers. In addition, insects including ladybugsspiders, damselflies, and dragonflies prey on the insects that eat daisies. Therefore, they help to protect the life force of the flowers.

Furthermore, birds, including finches, sparrows, cardinals, and towhees, are attracted to daisies because they eat their seeds or the insects that live in their ecosystems.

Furthermore, the ancient Greeks would dry and crush the roots of daisy flowers and feed them to bees if they were sickly.1

On a spiritual level, daisies share synergies with the rabbit spirit animal because they are symbols of fertility and new beginnings. In addition, as symbols of fidelity and eternal love, they share symbolic meaning with birds, of which the majority, including eagles and crows, are monogamous.

Daisy Mythology and Folklore

Because they grow on nearly every continent on Earth, daisy and aster flowers have appeared in the myths and folklore of many cultures around the world. Here are some of those stories:

Daisy Meaning in Greek Mythology

For the ancient Greeks, daisy flowers were sacred. The Greeks made them into wreaths, which they placed in their temples. In addition, they burned their leaves to detoxify the air and drive evil spirits away.

The ancient Greeks also associated their goddess Astraea with daisy flowers. According to one Greek legend, during the Iron Age, humans began to make a lot of weapons and warfare increased. Incensed with the violence, Zeus decided to destroy the world of men with a great flood. But before he did, the gods, who had been living on Earth, left. The goddess Astraea was the last to leave. Heartbroken at the loss of life, she asked Zeus to turn her into a star.

Eventually, the flood waters receded. But all that was left of the world was mud and slime. Seeing the destruction, Astraea wept, and her tears fell as stardust. When they hit the land, they turned into daisy flowers.2

Native American Daisy Meanings

For Native Americans, daisies, like sunflowers, are associated with the life-giving attributes of the sun. The Native Americans also eat the daisy seeds and they used to use their stalks as building materials.

Daisy Meaning in the United States

In the U.S., daisies are April birth flowers. They are associated with new beginnings, happiness, and lighthearted fun.

Celtic Daisy Meaning

For the ancient Celts, daisies brought protective powers and good luck to babies and young children.

Norse Daisy Mythology

The Vikings associated daisies with their goddess Freya, who was a fertility goddess and the guardian of new mothers.

Asia

In China and Japan, daisy flowers are associated with fidelity and eternal love.

Daisy Tattoo Meaning

A daisy tattoo is a great design for a tattoo because these flowers are relatively simple in composition, yet they symbolize many positive attributes. A daisy tattoo tells the world that you are lighthearted and look for the fun in life. It can also be an ideal symbol when you are starting something new in your life. While tattoos are highly personal to each individual, hopefully understanding the qualities that daisies represent will bring deeper meaning to your tattoo.

May 8, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 8th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 11.12 days old and 86.57% illuminated with a tilt of 153.835°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,092.89 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for May 8th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Being a Taurus born on May 7th, you are persistent and motivated in pursuing the goals you so impulsively set out for yourself. Kind and charming, it doesn’t take you long to get close to people although you tend not to be very trusting with others.

Having an inquisitive nature, you are always questioning things and don’t give up until you get to the middle of what is going on, every time. Prepare to read a special report below.

 The zodiac sign for May 7 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull is influential for those born April 20 – May 20, when the Sun is considered to be in Taurus. It is representative for stubborn individuals who are also patient and tactful.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac. It is spread on an area of 797 square degrees. It covers visible latitudes between +90° and -65°. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East and the brightest star is called Aldebaran.

 The name Taurus is the Latin definition for the Bull, the May 7 zodiac sign. The Italians call it Toro while the Spanish say it is Tauro.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This is relevant in astrology because it shows that partnerships between the Taurus and Scorpio sun signs are beneficial and highlight wits and bravery.

 Modality: Fixed. This modality of those born on May 7 suggests persistence and enlightenment and also offers a sense of their original nature.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house symbolizes material possessions and everything that is of passage in someone’s life.

 Ruling body: Venus. This combination suggests charm and inquisitiveness. Venus is one of the seven classical planets that can be seen with the naked eye. Venus is also representative for the mystery of these natives’ existences.

 Element: Earth. This element represents conformity and responsibility and is considered to dominate over the confident and polite people connected to May 7 zodiac. Earth shapes things in association with water and fire.

 Lucky day: Friday. This day is representative for the realistic nature of Taurus, is ruled by Venus and suggests sexuality and support.

 Lucky numbers: 5, 7, 12, 16, 20.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on May 7 are patient and understanding but quite tenacious and constant when they desire something. They possess a relaxed temperament and prefer to maintain a peaceful and gentle appearance. They thrive when they are accompanied by their families and closed friends but also aim to revolve in higher circles. However, they are quite frustrated by incertitude and feelings of insecurity in situations that require rapid change.

 Positive Traits: These people are conscientious, kind hearted and know that once they set up to do something they need to finish it no matter what misfortunes they meet along the way. And they do everything in the most dignified way. Taurus people are usually unfailing but in transformation they ask for great security and sureness. Those born under this sign have a great combination of aspiring and generosity that can only set them to great success for their communities.

 Negative Traits: One of the things Taurus needs is to learn to accept judgment and not overly react but analyze and improve whatever needs to be improved. Those born on this day can have an extremely narrow vision of things and can also be very bull headed and this usually leads to frequent irritability and emotions of annoyance. They are sometimes prone to laziness and avoidance of obstacles. Not only they lack malleability at times but they also seem rigid in contexts where they shouldn’t like when with their partner.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 7 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.

 Their love personality can be defined as reserved and quiet. They can be rather stubborn and expect others to make the first steps. When in a relationship their love progresses quickly, their attitude changes and they turn into a devoted and persistent lover. Despite the fact that they are friendly and generally happy persons it is quite difficult for them to settle for someone, probably because they are expecting things to happen instead of making them happen. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th.

 May 7 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is constantly seeking for someone who is both attractive and unpredictable and can keep their interest alive and the most suitable to offer them this is the native from Scorpio. Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Green is the color defined for May 7 and in general for Taurus natives.

Green symbolizes fertility and growth and is considered to be a color of the earth. This zodiac color is advised to be used in accessories and items of clothing.
