The Florist - HUM 349/0 HSC 69139093

A fragrant summer day. There is nothing quite like the scent of fresh-cut blossoms on a warm afternoon! In The Florist (HUM 349/0), we find a young boy kneeling in the dirt, carefully selecting the most beautiful flowers from the garden. Originally sculpted in 1957 by Helmut Fischer, this figurine was designed to evoke a deep sense of closeness to nature.

With his basket at his side and a look of quiet concentration, The Florist reminds us to stop and smell the roses—or in this case, the vibrant wildflowers of the Bavarian countryside. Whether you are a master gardener or simply a lover of all things floral, this timeless lad brings the eternal spirit of summer into your home all year round.

The Florist is the perfect centerpiece for a botanical-themed display. Pair him with these other "flower-powered" active listings:

• Full of Charm (HUM 2282/B): He has the finished bouquet; The Florist shows where those beautiful flowers came from!

• Grandma's Girl (HUM 561): She is carrying flowers to her grandmother—perhaps they were freshly picked by The Florist.

• In the Meadow (HUM 459): Shows a girl resting among the very flowers that this young man is so busy gathering.
