Freesia

I like to buy flowers. And yet, I feel guilty when I do.

I love the beauty, and with the freesia, the fragrance that they bring into a house. They seem to hold the light in a different way to all my other objects, capturing it, enhancing and radiating.

But with their cut stems, I feel like an executioner. They are dying. As Tesco boldly claim, they have seven days guaranteed. Seven days left.

I suppose the solution is to buy pot plants.

But you don't want to see what I can do to pot plants. My house is a gulag for pot plants.
