March 10, 2011Miss Morning Glory certainly knows how to brighten the corner where she is. She wandered through her garden just before the Chinese New Year party the other afternoon, picking pink hibiscus, a salmon bougainvillea and a few tiny Golden Rain blossoms and managed to artfully mass them into a spectacular and towering grouping. I caught her part way through the arranging - imagine this with another 5 pink hibiscus dancing on slim sticks of bamboo, and that's what she created. Poof! Of course, she is so prepared for any floral situation that she even had some green florists...

March 9, 2011.Today is Vita Sackville-West's birthday. One of these days I will get to Sissinghurst, to see her white garden. In the meantime I am luxuriating in the beauteousness that Miss Morning Glory has created across the road from us. Every corner has a story, every flower has a well-scrubbed face, every thing is loved. (Well, except for the damn moles and the possums, but those belong in another story.)

March 8, 2011More Chinese New Year. There are a few moments just before the sun goes down, when the rays of light are long and lush and golden, and time slows - just for a moment. The dust motes blur and soften the sharp edges, the garden is lovely, and so are your companions. As the dusk gathers nothing is quite as beautiful as the lamp light.
