Tips & Ideas
SCARLET FEVER
submitted by: Sheldon Cheshire
Recently, we watched the musical “The Scarlet Pimpernel” together. Since then, Scarlet Pimpernel has been a floral representation of me. I looked everywhere to find if Pimpernel really existed. I discovered that, while not a great flower for our climate, it did exist. I quickly ordered some online and planted it in a pot in the house. Imagine my wife’s surprise when she discovered that there was a constant reminder of her own “Scarlet Pimpernel” in the house.Though simple flowers, these have come to represent us (in fact, I now send her occasional notes stamped with a simple red flower.)
