I wanted to create a poppet that gives me all the feelings that I experience when I am in my garden. I give you Flora. Flora in Roman and Greek religions is the goddess of the flowering plants from around 238 B.C.E. Flora was associated with vegetation and flowering plants. The Romans honored her in order to ensure her continued blessing on their lands. This was crucial for an ancient people dependent on agriculture.
