(Chris) A while ago, I asked John Clarke

"The flowers of Yorkshire
are like the women of Yorkshire."
:18:18
"Every stage of their growth
has its own beauty,
:18:21
but the last phase
is always the most glorious."
:18:25
"Then very quickly they all go to seed."
:18:28
(laughter)
:18:30
"Which makes it ironic my favourite flower
:18:33
isn't even indigenous to the British Isles,
let alone Yorkshire."
:18:38
"I don't think there's anything on this planet
that more trumpets life than the sunflower."
:18:46
"For me, that's because
of the reason behind its name."
:18:49
"Not because it looks like the sun
but because it follows the sun."
:18:55
"During the course of the day,
:18:57
the head tracks the journey
of the sun across the sky."
