Cut flowers for every-day occasions

Flowers are ephemeral. Carnations and chrysanthemums last and last... tulips, roses, peonies, lilies, delphiniums, irises, are ever changing – opening, unravelling, translucently ‘painting’ themselves as they dry and die, spill petals. That they are not static makes them, perhaps messy, but alive. They change throughout the day, moving and lengthening with the sun. Tulips become great clown poppies. All this matters. Should matter.
