Well, I am just delighted with this flower show business. It certainly makes one feel so much better than the run of the mill "stuff" all about. And so very, very British. the queen was just lovely in that marvelous green suit with the huge diamond brooch and pearls. And all those gorgeous flowers. I am so glad I was not there. You see, I am the Black Thumb of Death (known as Black Thumb to all and sudry with shudders and horror). I can look at a rose and the poor thing will just curl up and die. I have six that in spite of my best efforts have not died, at least not yet. And when they bloom-forlorn hope-they are so heartbreakingly beautiful. Except for one. She is the iron maiden. I have pleaded, cajoled, screamed at, caressed, fertiliezd, vitamined, watered and prayed over. and the cruel weed just WILL NOT BLOOOM. Sigh. But then there is always the queen at a flowershow for consolation. Cheers.
