Flowers in cemetaries
23 Feb 2025To reasons unbeknownst to us, Dan and I gravitate towards being around graveyards. In the past, my secondary school in Hong Kong, our first-year and second-year university accomodation were all situated next to a graveyard. In fact, the flat we are living in right now is also walking distance away from a graveyard, and so is where I work.
One thing that I have found magical about graveyards in the UK are the beautiful wild flowers that seemingly come out of nowhere. It makes me wonder whether dead bodies underground is related to the pretty flowers growing overground. Though I can't find the photos, one time we found loads of crocus flowers in a graveyard. It was beautiful.
Anyway, here are snapshot of snowdrops growing in the cemetary near where we live and where I work. Hope you like and appreciate them as much as we do!
