I'm having a quiet few days, looking at unfinished artworks, eating snacks and reflecting on the strangeness of this year. The garden is a mass of filth, dead leaves, undone tasks. But then, it's December; if it wasn't you'd have to suspect me of doing this gardening lark professionally (I don't).
One thing I have managed this year though, is to have flowers in the house. Sometimes they were garden bouquets, scattering aphids and romping off to seed. Sometimes they were lockdown supermarket purchases, made quickly between the onions and the apples, trying not to inconvenience any other shoppers. A few came from concerned friends and colleagues, with get "well soon cards" attached. Bittersweet, those; some things will improve, others are likely to be permanent.
Videos like this are a pleasing reminder that when it comes to flowers, thinking outside the box (though hardly necessary for you or the flowers) can really give them (and you) a boost.
