Commentaires : Wooden flowers are a craft unique to Indian Brook, Nova Scotia. They were initially created by Madeline Knockwood, a Mi'kmaq craftswoman, best known for her wooden roses, which were commonly made by ash splints. Starting in 1968, Madeline Knockwood trained Annie Paul, another Mi'kmaq craftswoman how to create wooden flowers, however the manner of creating the wooden roses was kept secret by Madeline Knockwood. It was through practice and watching how Madeline developed the other flowers that Annie Paul eventually created wooden roses of her own. This rose was one produced by Annie.
