Thoughtfulness
Blooms gathered from the cottage garden lend graciousness to this gift. Entwined with tendrils of ivy to represent friendship, peonies offer compassion, larkspur brings levity, and purple carnations add whimsy. Bells of Ireland, apple-green stems covered in cuplike calyxes, extend wishes for good fortune.
