12.2 x 8.5cm, 4pp artist’s card with a drawing by Gary Hincks on the front. Internally there is a poem by Finlay: <BR><BR>
HOSTA FLOWER<BR><BR>
An old summer dress<BR>
shared by sisters<BR>
its purple faded<br>
to lavender, fitting<BR>
no-one, a thousand<BR>
times in the wash<BR><BR>
The Hosta Flower is the Plantain lily which invaded America in the 1800s from Asia. Finlay sees the colour as reminiscent of the faded colours of poor families. VG+.
