green fingers

I am  Not a gardener I. Wish  I was and maybe if I own a garden  bigger than a square maybe I would learn. . My friends birthday is coming up I would like to send flowers  but   the purse strings are tight  after a holiday . I searched ravelry looking for something not to quirky but quirky enough.  I always worry about filling people houses with stuff I really like  but they see as tat. I hope this flower basket doesn't  come under tat category  .it seems ideal  as easy to send in post , flowers never wilt ,not to big and should raise a smile . Well I hope so any way . Tempted to make one for my mum.. but she not I to objects that don't have purpose still I rather like it might do one for myself lol
