DAFFODILS - MARCH BIRTH FLOWER

SPRING is finally upon us and the first sign that Spring is on its way is the beautifully bold in colour Daffodil 

With its 6 petals and Flute like middle this attractive flower reminds me of happiness and sunshine with such a strong floral smell

DID YOU KNOW......... Daffodils represents many things:

  • first off its the Birth Flower representing March Birthdays in UK & USA

  • Daffodils are also used to support Marie Curie Cancer Club and worn with pride to help support this much needed charity

  • Daffodils are also the national emblem of Wales

Daffodils are normally seen to be bright Yellow although they do also come in other lovely colours too, below are some photo's of these pretty flowers that come in a mixture of Yellows, Oranges & Whites

MY INTERPRETATION
Flowers are a big topic for me and what I base my self employed business around.  I create flowers petal by petal with Polymer Clay and attempt to capture the beauty as realistically as I can.  I've added just a couple of my makes below (for more flower makes please see my website by clicking on my website address www.fabtastic-flowers.myshopify.com
