Trudging out to the laundry yesterday in torrential rain, I can't tell you how happy I was to discover the arrival of my first camelia. Having watched my two camelias do very little but sprout leaves and get taller over the past 2 years, I feel positively warm and gooey when I look at my lovely first fleur. It's not particularly big and fluffy, nor it is perfectly white a la the Chanel varieties but it's real and it's mine.
When I last reported on le jardin, I may have mentioned my ceremonial planting of some new white Begonias... or I might not have, can't remember, no brain at the moment. Anyway, no signs of life there yet but stay tuned. And the lemons well they just keep on coming god love them. All this rain is totally their cup of tea.
