SECRET GARDEN

We sing anthems to honour our gods and we also recite poems to glorify our heroes; this scarf is a vibrant hymn to the crassulacea, that distinguished family of plants called "succulents", which include Jupiter's beard and the stonecrop. Their presence, with their fleshy appearance and infrequent but delicate flowers, helps town-dwellers endure their winter hibernation. Outdoor exploits can be imagined for the future. The cast-iron frog and porcelain lizard discreetly watch over this indoor garden.
