The strange tale of Sigmund Freud’s #begonia. Corinne’s begonia had grown from a cutting of a plant grown from one given to her by the actor Sally Miles in the 1970s. Sally’s had started life as a cutting she was given by the opera singer Kirsten Flagstad in the 50s.

Happy Summer! Can't wait for more warm sunny days. It has been a bit cool here. For now, lets get lost in this Floral Therapy for a few seconds. Take a quick nature break, even if you can't get outside right now. Discover beauty and bold colour. I love the sweet lilac and mayday scents right now. Join me anytime for a mini break right here. Let's brighten up the day together.
Enjoy the video and have a wonderful weekend.!
