A beautiful botanical wall hanging of presses cow parsley and long grass to symbolise the start of summer and memories of summer fields
Cow Parsley Spiritual Meaning: Otherwise known as Queen Anne's lace: from time when Queen Anne travelled the country side in May. The roadsides were said to have been decorated for her by this plant. As she & the ladies in waiting walked, they carried lace pillows; the Cow Parsley resembled the lace. Also known as Devil's Parsley, possibly because of its resemblance to the highly poisonous Hemlock. The origin of the name Mothers Dies seems to be a folk tale that children were told that if they picked cow parsley, their mother would die. This threat would deter children who couldn't tell the difference from picking hemlock which is poisonous.

The first photo is how the cast is as I decided to add a coating of bees wax to bring out the colouring more.
