A Spring Basket for a Funeral

  After the funeral, this pretty basket of Spring flowers was easily divided into 8 individual Posies for Friends to take home to enjoy, ⁠
  The little Viola plugs were taken away too, to plant out in the family garden.
A lovely way to remember & celebrate the life of a Lady who enjoyed gardening. ⁠ She loved the 'Flower Fairy' books by Cicely Mary Barker & reading them to her Children. Her Family asked me to include some of the 'Flower Fairy' stars in season that week among her funeral flowers. ⁠
  So with this as inspiration, I included flowers for the Heather, Stitchwort, Bluebell, Daffodil, Lady's Smock, Heart's Ease, Cowslip, Snowdrop, Willow Catkin & Forget Me Not Fairies. One or two were garden varieties (6 types of mini Daffodil for example & a fancy Snowdrop) so I used artistic licence a little... ⁠
  Still surprising how many 'Fairies' could be found once I began to look around the flower field & garden. Everything grown here in Galloway.⁠ And of course, the basket could be reused & no plastic, cellophane or floral foam was used to make the design.⁠
