One hour more to sleep today, but one hour less of daylight in the evening every day! Long live (vive) Spring.

A chrysathemum, cemetary flowers in France - why? I found the answer on INTERNET of course: on 11th November 1919, the first anniversary of the end of the war, Poincaré ordered that flowers be put on all the tombs in France. The only flowers produced in sufficient quantity at this time of year were chysanthemums. In Anglo-Saxon countries they have nothing to do with death (la mort) and in Asian countries they signify joy and happiness and even eat the petals in salads.
There are some beautiful varieties and colours, what a shame (quel dommage) that they are produced and bought mostly to put on the tombs in the cemetaries. 23 million plants are produced in France, 22.1 million sold for the 1st November and the cemetaries.
