This extra large earthenware platter celebrates the fun and whimsical tradition of floriography. Some months have two flowers, so I’ve chosen the one I wanted to paint most!

January ~ Carnation
February ~ Violet
March ~ Daffodil
April ~ Daisy
May ~ Lily of the Valley
June ~ Honeysuckle
July ~ Delphinium
August ~ Poppy
September ~ Morning Glory
October ~ Marigold
November ~ Chrysanthemum
December ~ Holly

The centrepiece is a little nod to the flower ladies in Alice in Wonderland who made a lasting impression on my young mind for some reason! Maybe it was the brutal way the flowers turn on her when they mistake Alice for a weed…

Hand-built Earthenware platter for serving or display.
