Yesterday I spent wondrous hours with plants, blooms and very good music playing {The Tallest Man on Earth's latest album 'There's No Leaving Now'} whilst the rain and wind howled outside. I really love a good storm, when there is almost electricity in the air {actually, there definitely was electricity in the air---> I think that's what lightning is?! Perhaps not quite}. Roses are so gorgeous at the moment and the older growth/later blooming hydrangeas are making me swoon with delight. The deep dark bluegreenplum hued ones in particular cause stirrings in my heart. I also had some tuberose pinned to my hair all day and it's heady musk driven sweetness was beyond lovely.

When I arrived home I had a quick garden saunter and saw my skywards climbing Madame Alfred Carrier roses are blooming beautifully. Oh I adore them. So fragrant and delicate!

| I am a little obsessed with this fellow |
I bought a new plant home it is called a New Guinea Impatiens. I'll try to take a clearer photo of it-the leaves have a beautiful rich wine underside and deep dark veins which show through on the top side. The have a nice deep green luster to them. I've never been that keen on impatiens until I saw this one. I think I'll add it to my bedroom collection which is mostly begonias and dichondra. And beans. On my windowsill.
