At the core of Witchflowers is the touching relationship between Iris Bloom and her young niece, Sunflower Daffodil. Sunflower absolutely idolizes her aunt and dreams of one day becoming a witch just like her. Always generous, Iris imparts her magical knowledge and wisdom to her eager young apprentice.

While some of the comics from the series can be read on their own, Witchflowers holds the record for the longest ongoing storyline ever to appear in the pages of Sundae Comics. In the story, the witch Iris Bloom offers a trade with an old bird named Hettie, with the secret intention of using the bird’s tail feathers to cast a spell!
