My ma absolutely adores flowers and plants but buy her a bunch of fresh cut flowers and you wont hear the end of it!
They're expensive. They wilt and won't last. They're a waste of money.
So over the years we have learned to buy potted plants instead.
But have you seen her garden lately? She has more plants than the Botanical Gardens!
And if you're lucky enough to find a spare inch of dirt in her one acre flower garden, remember that moment because it will be fleeting. By next week she would have planted yet another beautiful cutting and that inch of dirt will be nothing but a memory!
So since I can't buy her fresh cut flowers and I refuse to buy her potted plants, I came up with this idea for her Mother's Day card instead.
Flowers that will never wilt!

Again, a handmade card has saved the day! (well... sort of, indirectly, almost!)
And these cards are so quick and easy that I had the time to make one for my ma, a few special orders and another batch to sell later on!
So why not try something similar yourself?
