Listen "Amaryllis"
Episode Synopsis
After being given an amaryllis as a gift, Howard Jacobson wonders why he's never stared at a flower...until now.He ponder his life-long ignorance of flowers. Growing up, the family garden was a dumping ground for his dad's old trucks; seeds were something you fed to a budgerigar. 'And wasn't there a flower called An Enemy?' Howard asks. 'There you are then. I've had enough of those in life without finding more in the garden'.Producer: Adele Armstrong
