Unfortunately bought ones lose their scent almost immediately. I was astounded, when visiting daughter HHnB in Oz to find them growing delightfully wild, en masse. Commenting on it to her she explained that they are not indigenous, but introduced by settlers and now looked upon as a "feral weed".Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-18665819382359774242010-08-11T01:57:51.812+02:002010-08-11T01:57:51.812+02:00The way you describe the flowers, they could be ch...The way you describe the flowers, they could be characters in a story.

As far as I am concerned she was right. I must rely on your description to know what I am missing. "Scent on warm skin, bruised peaches, liquifying plums..."

These days when the gardener arrives I stroll out and have a word or two, conscious of exercising some sort of <em>droit du seigneur</em>. But these chats are becoming more and more strained as my limited vocabulary is strained to busting. I must pay more attention to the posts I normally skim over. At least on this occasion you've made it easier for me, creating a huge crop of adjectives for me to harvest.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-15176528272373516422010-08-10T10:32:40.060+02:002010-08-10T10:32:40.060+02:00Gorgeous, gorgeous photo - I can smell them!Gorgeous, gorgeous photo - I can smell them!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-15084078225162382392010-08-10T02:42:02.615+02:002010-08-10T02:42:02.615+02:00It's so often the way, with beautiful things :...It's so often the way, with beautiful things :-)<br /><br />Lovely writing, LucyDalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-6289930724011529772010-08-10T01:13:37.581+02:002010-08-10T01:13:37.581+02:00Breath-taking, Lucy - both image and commentary! ...Breath-taking, Lucy - both image and commentary!
