Well dressing, also known as well flowering, is a tradition practised in some parts of rural England in which wells, springs and other water sources are decorated with designs created from flower petals. The custom is most closely associated with the Peak District of Derbyshire and Staffordshire. James Murray Mackinlay, writing in 1893, noted that the tradition was not observed in Scotland; W. S. Cordner, in 1946, similarly noted its absence in Ireland. Both Scotland and Ireland do have a long history of the veneration of wells, however, dating from at least the 6th century.

  • Украшение источников (англ. well dressing, well flowering) — народный обычай в Англии, когда колодцы, родники и другие источники украшаются конструкциями из цветов. Обычай связан с местностями Пик-Дистрикт (Дербишир) и Стаффордширом. Джеймс Мюррей Маккинлей писал в 1893 году, что традиция не встречается в Шотландии, а В. С. Корнер в 1946 году отмечает отсутствие её в Ирландии. И в Ирландии и в Шотландии имеется своя долгая традиция почитания источников, относящаяся по меньшей мере к VI веку. (ru)
