Valentine's Day
« on: February 14, 2009, 02:48:26 PM »
I want to use Valentine's Day to make a special tribute to our indefatigable
Moderator Maggi.
Searching in some old books this week I found a picture of a Leucanthemum from 1897
(In those days still called Chrysanthemum).
In the picture are 4 varieties, but one was called Countess of Aberdeen and I
thought it appropriate to use this little bunch for special Valentine's Day greetings!
Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

My dear Countess,
I cannot beat Luit to it
But this is a "red red rose"
because in Sweden they are not waterlilies they are "Roses of the Näck."
The Näck is a kind of lake god who occasionally will play the violin to you.
(hope he will ;D)
