The shop is sparkling with gladioli which we buy for £3 a glorious bunch from The People’s Supermarket – purple, red, orange, a curious green. One of our very favourite websites, Yarnstorm Press, featured some gladioli paintings recently which we are putting on the Post this week, in tribute both to gladioli and Yarnstorm – and to the four painters. First of all: Florence Engelbach 1933 © Laing Art Gallery, more of her (mostly flower) paintings at PCF here.
