The "Viherpeukaloinen" (Green-thumbed Wren) dishcloth is part of illustrator Petri Törmänen’s beloved *Luonnelinnut* ( Birds with Character) series, in which Finnish bird characters are given amusing and fitting personalities. The Green-thumbed Wren is one of the first garden inhabitants of spring—always ready to scratch at the soil, plant new seedlings, and eagerly watch the garden grow.
The humorous text on the dishcloth aptly describes the bird:
A bird bustling about on the ground is a common sight when the soil is free of frost. Enjoying the scent of rich, moist earth, the bird loves to watch the plants it has planted grow.
