The cornucopia represents the Armiger's mother, Mary Magdalene Bernadotte Miller, Baroness of Jedburgh Forest; in art the Magdalene is often represented pouring ointment from a horn. The white, pink ad blue flowers refer to the Armiger and his siblings. It is imagined that some of the petals that lie on the ground have fallen from the horn of plenty.
