Time to change the flowers perhaps?


There's something utterly splendid about sunflowers that have passed their sell-by date. There comes a time when you have no choice but to bin them of course, but in the three or four days leading up to that unhappy moment I find the magnificence of their decrepitude completely irresistible. They're like flamboyant old theatrical heart-throbs living on former glories.

Delightful. I particularly like the yellow of the petals.
