Floralia, the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, was held from 27th April to 3rd May during the Roman Republic era 509 BC to 27 BC. I think we should resurrect this fun week, so my Chreastermas Tree has become a Floralia Tree. I tied a ribbon on for everyday of Lockdown and I am now taking one off everyday. Welcome to the famous Gardens of Tidalscribe.

Flora would appreciate the honour you do her with such a wonderful display. What do you do for Mithras?

Very nice, Janet. My wife keeps our place looking good with lots of beautiful flowers. I am simply the mower and serious branch cutter.

The only Roman deity I celebrate on a regular basis is Bacchus. I will be honouring him later this evening with a bottle of Montepulciano D’Abruzzo.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks Annika, I buy plants every time I’m at the greengrocers! I am no good at vegetables though.

What a joy! 😀 I used to buy them a lot like that too and numerous visits to garden centres etc but not for over a year alas! One big brave outing instead!

Love the idea of stripping the ribbons off one by one. Hope is on the horizon. 😀
