Unusual Request

You might think that after so many years as a florist - wait, hold on! Let’s not get carried away; I’m still just a teenager at heart and definitely not nearing forty-years in the business 😆- I’d have seen, done, or been asked for just about everything by now. But nope! The world keeps surprising me with its strange, fun, and unique requests.

Just recently, I was asked to do something I’d never heard of before, and honestly, it’s not something I’d ever have thought of myself.

I was asked to add a few spoonfuls of my customers loved one’s cremains into the soil of one of the cheeseplants I have for sale. At first, it felt unusual, but then I absolutely fell in love with the idea. Those cremains will now nourish the plant, helping it grow, and one day, new plants can be propagated from it. What a beautiful way to honour someone’s memory and keep their spirit alive for years to come.

The only challenge? The lucky person receiving the plant might feel a little extra pressure to keep it thriving! 🌱

A photograph taken from above of a dark green leafed cheeseplant. The plant is in a pale grey china pot which is the inches in diameter, five inches deep and tapers slightly at the base. The plant has a dozen stems rising out in differing directors from the central root ball, all at different levels, raising to around sixteen inches above the pot. The smaller leaves closer to the pot are more of an elongated heart shape or around a five inch diameter; the larger leaves at the top on the longer branches are roughly ten inches in diameter with index finger shaped cuts down each side of the leaf. There are between two and four of these cuts. The leaves themselves are a dark rich green and very shiny.
