Well, this is truly it for fresh flowers from the garden! The Ivy, Hedera helix ‘Baltica‘ will usually stay green all winter. I brought a couple of still flowering Geraniums, Perlagonium into the house and so, as November takes on a more thoughtful, reflective tone, they have substituted for poppies in this recognition of Remembrance Day, November 11th.
While I love the misty sometimes grey, damp days of November they have a serious overtone of both happy and sad personal memories for me.
