In numerous legends and fairy tales, cowslips are said to open mysterious doors, chests and even rocks or mountains – to reveal treasure. Nodding umbels of cadmium-yellow are set by the Moorcroft designer against the darkest of midnight grounds for dramatic effect. Heavens Keys also opens the door to Green-winged Orchids (Anacamptis morio) in the centre of this elegant design, their distinct parallel greenish veins on each side of the hood add a splash of speckled vibrancy against the inflorescence of calming shades of deep-lilac to rose-pink.
