Which celebrity signed prints of which flower?

You can purchase the print framed or unframed. Reproduction is by state-of-the-art digital offset lithographs on an eight-colour Komori Lithrone LS-829 with H-UV by The Indigo Press in Southampton. Each print is on 150gsm uncoated card and machine-sealed. The Alison Kingsgate frame has shatterproof styrene perspex making it especially suitable for offices and homes with children and the elderly; this perspex has the same clarity of glass, but more durable and safer than traditional glass, and can therefore be shipped to you at reasonable prices.
