Flowers for Mother’s Day, in your own voice.
It opens on the day itself: Mothering Sunday in the UK and Ireland, the second Sunday of May elsewhere, unless you choose another. A posy of up to seven stems if one flower isn’t enough.
Its flowers
The occasion’s own come first at the desk; any of the eighteen can be sent, alone or as a posy of up to seven. Each grows from the words of its letter, so no two are alike.
Plate XI.CarnationDianthus caryophyllus
Its paper
Printed on ivory as a hand-coloured engraving, the whole plate comes to life as it opens, pollen drifting in the light. Or choose Prussian blue: a cyanotype, where only the flower returns to colour.
Its music
Pieces written for the book. As the flower opens, the music pauses and a soft piano plays their name, a note for each letter.
- Old Photograph · the occasion’s own
- Clear Morning
- Long Table
- No music · only the room’s own sounds, your voice and their name
Its day
It opens on Mother’s Day itself, at eight in the morning in their time zone, unless you choose another day. It reaches them by email, or as a link and QR code you send yourself. Until it reaches them you can change its day, or cancel it and have your money back.
Writing it
