Description
This cotton tea towel carries a cheerful botanical chart of fourteen wild flowers, set out on a natural cream ground beneath the printed heading Wild Flowers. Each bloom is drawn in clear, flat colour: deep red common poppies, blue cornflowers and bluebells, pink dog roses and foxgloves, yellow gorse and cowslips, and bright orange hawkweed, all on fresh green stems and leaves. A small number sits beside every flower, and a key along the bottom edge gives each its common and Latin name, from wood forget-me-not to red campion. It is made from cotton and measures 50cm wide and 70cm long, a generous size for working through a full rack of washing up.
It belongs in the kitchen, drying glasses, plates and pans, but the design is pretty enough to leave out on show rather than tucked away in a drawer. Hung from a hook or a peg rail, it brings a bright run of meadow colour to a plain wall or a quiet corner. The chart format means there is always something to look at, and it is a gentle way to learn the names of flowers you might spot along a hedgerow or in a field on a summer walk. It suits a cottage kitchen just as well as a modern one, adding warmth without clutter.
The tea towel is fully hemmed all round for a neat, tidy edge, and a hanging strap on one corner lets it loop over a hook between uses. Care is simple: wash it at 30°C and iron on a low heat, and do not dry clean, bleach or tumble dry it. Hang it by its strap so the whole chart can be seen, or fold it over a towel rail with the poppies facing out. Rolled with a ribbon and a card, it makes a small, thoughtful gift that will be used every day.
