When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people’s gardens . . .
Jenny Joseph
Yes, purple flowers are very much in style. But, you don’t have to pick flowers from other people’s gardens. Flora2000 has dozens of purple flowers to choose from – roses, iris, carnations, dahlias, freesia, hydrangea and more.
Fill your house with your favorite purple blooms and wear a red hat – I promise, life will be a little more fun.
