It can also be associated with the Well Dressing. Villages that had wells also used to dress the well in flowers the patterns of which can be very complicated. The chosen May Queen and her retinue then parade through the village usually on what is called a float. (open wagon)

Thank you sweetie pie for the lovely info! Where that tradition comes from?

Once known as 'well flowering', it's thought to have originated in pagan times.

However well dressing began, it was banned by the early Christians along with all other forms of water worship - but the tradition refused to die.

So what is it? At its simplest, it's the art of decorating springs and wells with pictures made from local plant life. The dressings are set in clay-filled wooden trays, mounted on a wooden frame. They take hours to complete, and villagers often work through the night to finish in the early hours of the first festival morning. Some villagers dress their wells in secret. Others invite you to come along and watch - the best way to find out how it's done.
