What is your favourite flower? Do you like flowers of springtime - modest and shy flowers? Or are the best flowers the ones that are seen in summer? We are grateful now, in the middle of lockdown, for any scrap of joy at all. And early spring flowers do, indeed, bring joy, above all in winter. There is no snow here, but there are lots of snowdrops. Some of them are by the church and there are others in gardens. There is white heather by the church too. I saw a little yellow flower by the road, among dead leaves. There is only one. It is a celandine. It has no smell, but the wild garlic nearby smells of onion. In summer, we see rather extravagant flowers. They are much loved by painters - they must have enough red. What are these seventeenth century flowers? I don't know. Perhaps they are tulips - there was a fashion for them at that time.
