The flowers of Guernsey form this floral bouquet, while the decorative ribbons represent Guernsey's national colors. When the Guernsey Lily was first recorded in 1660 it flourished on Guernsey. With the cooler climate on the island today, however, it must be grown in greenhouses. Many hundreds of popular Narcissus plants are grown on the Channel Islands. They are sent over to France and England for the early flower trade. Originally from South Africa, the Kaffir Fig grows profusely along the cliffs of the island and also covers large areas of ground with its pink and yellow flowers. For thousands of years, the Sea Bindweed has graced the Island of Guernsey. Also called "Queen Anne's Needlework" and "Painted Lady," the Pencilled Crane's-bill is a pretty flower that has been known since the seventeenth century. The flowers of the small St. Peter Port Daisy change in color to a dusky pink with age.
