Greeting Cards: Fleurs de Joie.

Fleurs de joie translates to ‘flower of joy’, which is exactly what the primrose is.

With their pale-yellow petals and orange centres Primroses are a cheerful sign of spring.  They are one of the first woodland blooms and an important nectar source for butterflies like brimstone and small tortoiseshell.

This collage is part of ‘The Floral Visitors’ series of prints and collages that explores the plight of our pollinating insects.  It highlights the best plants to grow, in terms of pollinator rewards, for each season of the year.
