There is something about the dim silvery soft light in a dark sky that has inspired many a poem, picture and ponder of the cosmos. But us humans are not the only organisms transfixed by a Full Moon, Mother Nature already has a tribe of Full Mooners that prefer to shine during this particular phase of the lunar cycle in particular.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are the doodlebugs that dig bigger holes around Full Moon time. There are species that like to take it up a notch in the romance department with some owl species increasing the volume on their mating call and puffing up their feathers under the brighter light of the Full Moon. This is the favoured moon phase for certain coral species to spawn and for one particular scrubby shrub called Ephedra Foeminea this is the only time it likes to release its pollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not liking things too shabby, we simply love the Moonflower which blossoms only under the light of a Full Moon. She is a deliciously scented climber whose vines wrap not just around the garden fence or a tree but our hearts also as she literally unfolds her spectacular white bloom during warm summer Full Moon nights releasing the sweetest of aromas carried on a warm summer breeze. And when she gives her life over after bloom she continues to leave her loving imprint with her leaves which resemble gorgeous little love hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if we need further enticing outdoors on a Full Moon eve, the moonflower brings an ethereal magic to the garden at night along with other nocturnal loving creatures and animals. Our faves of course being those with an ancient and symbolic connection to the moon \u2013 the fox, the owl, the hare. All these furry moon icons are a part of the Living the Luna Life family and you will see them pop up on all manner of Living the Luna Life goodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
