ANOTHER DANDELION
As I thought about dandelions I remembered another dandelion. This time from my Foundation Show in 2000. I showed this slide at the University of Brighton talk 2 weeks ago. Pressed flowers again. My first pressed flowers were collected when I was five years old. I can see the book in my mind's eye – a school drawing book, dull blue paper cover, a flower on each page and the name I had identified and written carefully in pencil. The names are pressed in me: red dead nettle, yellow archangel, bistort – there was a dandelion too.
