We made flower out of harakeke(flax leaves) today. Maori customs, and harakeke leaves are used to weave baskets, kete bags etc....
" Traditionally when harakeke leaves were removed from the plant, only the older leaves on the outside were taken. It is believed the three inner layers of the plant represented a family. This outer layer represented the grandparents, whereas the inner layer of new shoots or the child remained to be protected by the next inner layer of leaves, the parents"
