9th December 2025

"Pale-pink curly chrysanthemums in mauve jug woth honesty" are our December flowers, as suggested by Stella Martin Currey in One Woman's Year in which she has a lovely section on 'Flowers in Every Room' for each month. This is 
Chrysanthemums (1961, Banbury Town Hall) by Cyril James Frost (1880-1971).
(The Provincial Lady also carries chrysanthemums on the train up to London to stay with "dear Rose" while she does her Christmas shopping.)
