English Garden Ceramic Flower Mint Mum

£10.85

I never thought I'd find myself contemplating the merits of ceramic flora, yet here I was, standing in my sister's nursery, surrounded by an army of mint-colored flowers mounted on the walls like trophies from some pastel war. "It's the November birth flower," Amy declared, as if that explained everything. I nodded, pretending to understand why anyone would want a chrysanthemum, let alone a fake one, plastered to their wall. But in the world of nursery room accessories, logic seemed to have taken a permanent vacation. "Don't you think it's a bit... much?" I ventured, gesturing at the veritable garden sprouting from the drywall. She looked at me as if I'd suggested painting the baby puce. "It's modern artwork," she said, her tone suggesting I was some sort of Neanderthal for questioning her design choices. I thought about pointing out that modern typically implied some sort of progress, not a regression to decorating with items one might find in a grandmother's attic. But I bit my tongue, realizing that in the realm of nursery wall decor, my opinion ranked somewhere between the lamp and the diaper pail. As I stared at the mint monstrosity, I couldn't help but wonder if the baby would grow up thinking flowers naturally came with mounting brackets. It seemed a small price to pay for being born in November.

Looks Great on Tables

Originally destined for tabletops, fate intervened when two domestic goddesses - Oprah and Martha themselves - declared these babies belonged on walls. Who could argue with that kind of decorating royalty?

Pretty Boxes

Each delicate ceramic blossom nestles in a box worthy of its artistry, wrapped with the kind of care that makes gift-givers beam with pride. Making others look thoughtful comes naturally around here.

Can be Used on a Wall

One discovers the most elegant of solutions: a humble keyhole adorns the reverse, yearning for nothing more than a single screw. Into drywall it slides, defying both gravity and common sense. Voilà - sweet victory.

Pretty Flowers in Pretty Boxes

After eleven years of toiling, arranging, and obsessing over more than a hundred varieties of flowers, one learns that the postal service harbors a peculiar vendetta against beauty. Like a jealous god waiting to smite anything delicate or refined. But victory comes in the form of sturdy, elegant boxes - the kind that make a recipient feel like royalty, while secretly being fortress-strong enough to survive even the most spiteful mail handler's wrath.

How to Hang

One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.
