This flower, which originated in the East, grows wild near where I live, a relic of what was once a thriving local industry. Farmers cultivated it and sent the cut blossoms up to Town on the fast train, so that Londoners could have flowers on the table at Easter. All that has gone long ago, but the plant hangs on in the hedgerows.
