Botanical Traditions of Springtime Decorations
Decorating eggs with plant foliage stems from old folk traditions where real leaves were pressed against eggshells before dyeing. Onion skins, beetroot, or red cabbage were frequently utilized to create natural dye baths, leaving crisp leaf impressions on the shell. Leaf patterns symbolize fresh growth, vitality, and the renewal of nature during the spring season.
