Annuals are a beloved tradition in the UK, dating back to the 1930s when The Magnet and Billy Bunter were out of reach for young readers. Frank Richardson's children's Annuals provided hours of entertainment with stories like Bonzo's Latest: This Week's Studdy. Meanwhile, the Girls Own Annual catered to young girls' interests. But annuals aren't just limited to literature; they also refer to flowers that bloom once a year. These vibrant beauties bring color and life to gardens, such as Borago officinalis, commonly known as Borage. Its blue star-like flowers and elongated leaves create an enchanting sight. In Pears magazines from the early 1900s, nautical themes took center stage with illustrations featuring ships, battleships, and boats. One can almost feel the sea breeze while flipping through those pages. The London Botanical Gardens in Regents Park showcase an array of annual plants captured in a stunning color photograph, and is here where nature enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the beauty of these fleeting blooms. Speaking of engravings, one cannot forget about Zinnias - delicate flowers depicted intricately through this art form. Their vibrant colors make them popular choices for gardeners looking to add a splash of joy to their landscapes. Moving forward in time brings us closer to Christmas Gifts Features from December 1971. Amongst gift ideas was the All Stars Football Book for 1972 – surely a treat for football fans during that festive season. Lastly, we have Ocimum basilicum or Sweet Basil plant growing gracefully in soil – an aromatic herb used widely in culinary delights around the world. Whether it be relishing childhood memories with classic annual publications or marveling at nature's ephemeral wonders through botanical gardens and flower engravings - there is something truly special about annuals that captivates our hearts throughout different realms of life.
