Paradisblomster i oktober och i oktober igen

Eva Ekeblad, 2001

  These are all from the New Lawn. The righthand leaf from the Opium Poppy is one I had scanned last week - and I must have managed to pick one of the best preserved of its remaining leaves today... though, actually, none of them were as much frostbitten as windbroken, like the lefthand poppyleaf.
  The Spider Flower wasn't made for two nights of frost, and snow lasting over the day in between. Goodbye to the Spider Flower.
  The Marigold, although damaged, will survive for some time yet. Those in the New Lawn have had a baby freshness, which is now gone, that's all. We can live with that.

There's also, for page decoration, some of the salt crystals remaining on the paths from yesterday, when they were sprinkled out to reduce the slipperyness.
