bonfire night is one of my favourite u.k. holidays. our flat is on the 4th floor, and throughout the weekend I’ve been watching the long stretch of horizon from Canary Wharf to Wimbledon bloom with electric neon flowers across the sky, gazing mesmerised with childlike delight every time another show begins.

giant gaudy chrysanthemums, tall spiky larkspurs, small clusters of baby’s breath, big fluffy peonies, bold bursting stargazer lillies. i have no garden, but i have these beautiful blossoms on display every year.
