flora

Today, the bird of paradise is one of the predominant flora across the city.

Flora Sandes, born in 1876, grew up in Marlesford near Wickham Market in Suffolk and joined the Serbian army after not being able to join the British.

Ota: “Flora and her family lived at the end of the street where I used to go for a walk. I would sit on my walker and rest before turning around and she would come and bring me flowers. Then she started coming over and we just became friends. Now we get together a lot.”

Ota: “A friend like Flora keeps things lively. Young people are so full of life. And connecting with young people makes you recall when you were young and your children were young.”

Organized by a nonprofit organization called The 3F Initiative, the two governments are proposing that fungi be included alongside flora sand fauna as a separate realm for conservation efforts.
