	The Month of June Meaning: The month of June is probably named after Juno, queen of the gods and the wife of Jupiter. It was held sacred to her, and since Juno was the Goddess of Marriage, was thought by the Romans to be the luckiest month for marriage. June was called by the Angles and Saxons the "dry month", and sometimes the "earlier mild month" Flower of the Month: Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.)

	20th Summer Solstice Solstice' means 'sun-stopping'. The point on the horizon where the sun appears to rise and set, stops and reverses direction after this day. On the solstice, the sun does not rise precisely in the east, but rises to the north of east and sets to the north of west, meaning it's visible in the sky for a longer period of time. Although the June solstice marks the first day of astronomical summer, it's more common to use meteorological definitions of seasons, making the solstice midsummer
