I had never heard of this plant. It had the name “Levkoje” on the label, but the local store is German speaking. I had a look in Wikipedia and found the name Matthiola. It is a member of the mustard family and comes in various colours.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss 
So you never heard of the novel “Jauche und Levkojen” (also made into a film) by Christine Brückner? I never read or watched it, but the title has become a “geflügeltes Wort”, zumindest im Großen Kanton. 🙂

BTW, when discussing books with several people, someone asked us if anyone had read this well-known book by Brückner entitled “Scheiße und Gladiolen”. We had a good laugh…

I had never heard of it, so I had a look in Wikipedia and found it was even a TV serie. My next stop was with Mr. Swiss. Of course he knows it, he said, his mother always watched it. Looks like I have an omission on my catching up with German literature; something to read on my list. I must ask my German daughter-in-law is she has read it.
