February is almost at an end, and I already predict an on-going
obsession with flowers is set to develop throughout March. Not just on clothes
(which I undoubtedly have a fixation with), but as subjects for photographs and
decoration. It shouldn’t be long before the daffodils bloom, which was always a
big thing when I was young, because my school was just above a bank that was
covered in them by springtime. I’d almost forgotten how nostalgic a subject
they could be, but then I remembered the days of making daisy chains, and
drawing flower upon flower because it was the only thing you knew you could
draw well. Valentines has also made bouquets of flowers hard to escape, which
has undoubtedly fuelled my craving for all things floral.
Admittedly I am very much a winter girl, I love frosty
mornings and cosy layered clothing (in fact overly warm weather makes me feel
uncomfortable and lethargic). However, if there is one thing that can spur me
on into the spring/summer months it’s a pretty floral pattern.
