Flowers are wily specimens, aren’t they?
The great, maybe the greatest seducers of the natural world. All that colour and fragrance. All that abundance. All that beauty.
Of course, they’ve seduced the little insects into helping them propagate and spread across the globe, but they’ve worked their number on us as well, make no mistake.
Are flowers the only living thing we have a relationship with that is purely aesthetic, entirely based on looks?
Their beauty brings joy. It enchants, and even though it may be fleeting, it makes things better.
Never is this truer than in spring, when the bulbs start to explode from the dead earth of winter and the world starts to be a riot of colour and beauty again.
Here, with one or two flowers still to place and a pair of venerable secateurs ready to get to work, a creative mind is putting the final touches to a magnificent, gloriously colourful celebration of the season.
