On Sunday I visited a tropical plant nursery with a few kindred spirits of mine - we found loads of gorgeous bromeliads, orchids and colourful, stripey crotons (see below)
The day was hot and sultry and we just managed to finish eating our brunch in the cafe, surrounded by palms and ferns (in the distant company of a celebrity, who I shall politely allow to remain nameless), when the tropical downpour came! Lizards, two feet long, scuttled about and steam rose from the paved pathways. A magical day!
Hmm...I am abosorbing the heat from your words and the images they brought me from so far away. I am dreaming of green and orange and red and yellow today in my white, white world...
ReplyDeleteThanks and blessings to you, Patti !
By the way...thanks to for Diane Birch - Yummy !!!!
ReplyDeletewonderful Lincoln quote at the top sidebar. Cute collage. the downpour must have felt good after all the heat.
ReplyDeletePatti, I'm not seeing the collage...Help! It sounds beautiful. Can you direct me where to look? xo, O
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I am SO jealous!! I love those types of plants, and plant shops in general. Add to that your tropical downpour and it is heaven, even with Mr Lizard!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to know who the Celeb was!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love bromeliads and lizards. I would have been in heaven with 2' long lizards dashing about.
