Free bouquets of flowers will decorate Huddersfield town centre on Friday.
Lucky people could be left feeling blooming marvellous if they find a flower arrangement, which will be left in unusual places by members of Huddersfield Flower Club.
They expect to leave up to 80 posies and bouquets in the area during the day as part of an anonymous act of kindness, which they also hope will encourage more people to take up flower arranging.
Club committee member Eileen Hinchliffe is behind the project, called the Lonely Bouquet, and her club will be one of hundreds taking part around the UK for the second ever time to mark National Flower Arranging Day.
Eileen, 68, said: “Last year for the day we created three bouquets in public buildings in Huddersfield but shortly afterwards I came across the lonely bouquet idea when I found some information about it on the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies (NAFAS) website.
“Our group thought it would be a great idea and 20 have volunteered to take part.
“This week we’re making some bouquets on our own then we will be distributing them in unusual places that will hopefully give people a lovely surprise if they find one of them.
“We can’t say where exactly they’ll be but I’m thinking of placing them on walls, park benches and perhaps outside some public buildings.
“Each bouquet will have a card which will explain who’s made it and we’re asking for anyone who finds a bouquet to take a photo of it and share it via social media so that we can see how many are found.”
Eileen, who joined the club around 30 years ago, hopes the bouquets will also promote the art to a younger generation.
The club has been running for 60 years and members meet once a month at the Methodist Mission on Lord Street.
She said: “We hope the bouquets will make more younger people aware of both our club and NAFAS– there are a lot of young women who don’t know we exist.
“Flower arranging is definitely not just for older generations and it’s a wonderful hobby to have and it’s also a great way to make new friends and have a lot of fun.
“There are not many flower arranging courses available now but at our club we have demonstrations or workshops monthly.”
Nationally a host of celebrities are supporting the NAFAS campaign, including Jamie Oliver, Alan Titchmarsh and Huddersfield’s Nina Hossain.
