Two weeks ago fat sweet nascent globes teased me with glimpses of color.
Now, the petals brown and slide to the ground. Too short, the exuberant performance.
But last week--last week the plush round blossoms weighed down the stems, big pom-pons of silky ruffles.
Elegant.
Lavish. Opulent.
They stir my insatiable appetite for floral luxury.
