Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. To avoid damage from pollinating beetles, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are extremely tough. The flowers are bisexual with numerous adnate carpels and stamens are arranged in a spiral fashion on the elongated receptacle. The natural range of Magnolia species is a disjunct distribution, with a main center in east and southeast Asia and a secondary center in eastern North America, Central America, the West Indies, and some species in South America. 37830

Echinacea /ˌɛkɪˈneɪsiə, ˌɛkɪˈneɪʃiə/ is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family. It has ten species, which are commonly called coneflowers. They are native only in eastern and central North America, where they grow in wet to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming in summer. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἐχῖνος (ekhinos), meaning "hedgehog", due to the spiny central disk. These flowering plants and their parts have different uses. Some species are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. Two of the species, E. tennesseensis and E. laevigata, were formerly listed in the United States as endangered species; E. tennesseensis has been delisted due to recovery and E. laevigata is now listed as threatened.
Echinacea purpurea is used in traditional medicine. Although commonly sold as a dietary supplement, there is insufficient scientific evidence that Echinacea products are effective or safe for improving health or treating any disease.
Echinacea species are herbaceous, drought-tolerant perennial plants growing up to 140 cm (4 ft 7 in) in height. They grow from taproots, except E. purpurea, which grows from a short caudex with fibrous roots. They have erect stems that in most species are unbranched. Both the basal and cauline (stem) leaves are arranged alternately. The leaves are normally hairy with a rough texture, having uniseriate trichomes (1–4 rings of cells), but sometimes they lack hairs. The basal leaves and the lower stem leaves have petioles, and as the leaves progress up the stem the petioles often decrease in length. The leaf blades in different species may have one, three, or five nerves. Some species have linear to lanceolate leaves, and others have elliptic- to ovate-shaped leaves; often the leaves decrease in size as they progress up the stems. Leaf bases gradually increase in width away from the petioles or the bases are rounded to heart shaped. Most species have leaf margins that are entire, but sometimes they are dentate or serrate.
The flowers are collected together into single rounded heads at the ends of long peduncles. The inflorescences have crateriform to hemispheric shaped involucres which are 12–40 mm (0.47–1.57 in) wide. The phyllaries, or bracts below the flower head, are persistent and number 15–50. The phyllaries are produced in a 2–4 series. The receptacles are hemispheric to conic. The paleae (chaffs on the receptacles of many Asteraceae) have orange to reddish purple ends, and are longer than the disc corollas. The paleae bases partially surrounding the cypselae, and are keeled with the apices abruptly constricted to awn-like tips. The ray florets number 8–21 and the corollas are dark purple to pale pink, white, or yellow. The tubes of the corolla are hairless or sparsely hairy, and the laminae are spreading, reflexed, or drooping in habit and linear to elliptic or obovate in shape. The abaxial faces of the laminae are glabrous or moderately hairy. The flower heads have typically 200–300 fertile, bisexual disc florets but some have more. The corollas are pinkish, greenish, reddish-purple or yellow and have tubes shorter than the throats. The pollen is normally yellow in most species, but usually white in E. pallida. The three or four-angled fruits (cypselae), are tan or bicolored with a dark brown band distally. The pappi are persistent and variously crown-shaped with 0 to 4 or more prominent teeth. x = 11.[4]
Like all members of the sunflower family, the flowering structure is a composite inflorescence, with rose-colored (rarely yellow or white) florets arranged in a prominent, somewhat cone-shaped head – "cone-shaped" because the petals of the outer ray florets tend to point downward (are reflexed) once the flower head opens, thus forming a cone. Plants are generally long lived, with distinctive flowers. The common name "coneflower" comes from the characteristic center "cone" at the center of the flower head.

The hibiscus flower is bisexual, featuring both male and female reproductive parts in a single bloom. The male part is the stamen (anther and filament) which produces yellow pollen, while the female part is the pistil (stigma, style, and ovary), forming a prominent central column.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA - JUNE 08: A go-go dancer performs in a spray of water on a float in the 38th annual LA Pride Parade June 8, 2008 in West Hollywood, California. California gay people are looking forward to the opportunity to legally marry, starting June 17. The California Supreme Court refused to stay its decision legalizing same-sex marriage though conservative and religious opponents called for the court to stop same-sex couples from marrying before their initiative to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage goes to ballot in November. Some county clerks, including those of Kern, Merced, and Kings Counties, are reportedly threatening to refuse to perform all marriage ceremonies in opposition to the same-sex marriage decision. The parade is expected to draw more than 400,000 people. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

Dear reader,
I'm still getting used to my new house and the neighbourhood because I scarcely left my house for the first few days. I did, however, make a few brief journeys to the mainland to buy groceries and to the hardware shop to buy supplies for decorating. Being in a strange place where I don't know anyone or how to get around town without reading signs and making use of my cell phone maps for a little direction is a little anxious, but in time I should know every corner of the town.
I paid the town my first proper visit today with the goal to explore, getting acquainted with the locals. As I walked further into the town centre on Saturday afternoon, I was greeted by a plethora of new faces and names. I had a blast getting to know the locals of the town and experiencing a sense of belonging. I was even invited to participate in the Pride Parade. Since it was a tiny town parade, there weren't many large floats or big crowds of people, but it still felt incredibly nice to be able to witness everyone enjoying themselves and celebrating Pride Month.
I held off on announcing myself to be bisexual and demisexual. Since I was a young adolescent, I didn't explore which gender I was attracted to until I really knew and had experiences to validate my sexuality, I did not engage in relationships in high school, so I was unsure of how or even if I needed to "come out" to my family and friends. When I was nineteen, my family was aware of my sexual orientation, and I had been dating Thomas for five months; we had met at the grocery store where we both worked. It was really laidback. We both chose to remain, friends because I was not sure that our relationship was going anywhere.
I met Bessy, who was also nineteen, a month later. we met at a library, and after conversing for three hours about the books we both admired, it felt like we had been friends with each other for quite some time. We ended up dating for a full year. It blossomed into a mature relationship. Planning dates together, sleeping over at each other's homes. My family adored her. Then, when her grandmother became ill, Bessy took over as her only carer. She had barely any time away from her grandma, and even though I didn't mind that our time together was infrequent and a little strained, we both opted to put friendship first. I still text and call her every day to update her about my new life in Briarwood.
Once I'm settled into my new home, got myself into university, and landed a job, I'm hoping I can focus some time on beginning dating and one day settle down with somebody special. But for now, I'm content being single and end my day by celebrating Pride Month.
Until my next letter, take care.
