Anyone that knows me well also knows that I love flowers. I have filled our garden beds with as much colour and scent as I can manage. But the best part of having flowers growing in the garden is that you can bring them inside and they instantly brighten up a corner in a room. I have a little vase of flowers sitting on the bedside table in our bedroom at all times. This week the vase holds roses, some variegated hibiscus and a pretty little white feathery flower whose name I can't recall.

The predominant colours in the garden are all the shades of purple. When I was about six years old I was a flower-girl for my godmother and I wore the most beautiful lilac dress. From that time on I have loved the colour.

And little vases of pentas on the shelf in the guest bathroom

if it ever rains, I must get some punnets of pentas and put them in everywhere, they make SUCH good cut flowers, seem to last forever! I may even have one laying dormant or hidden in the undergrowth still, but anything a bit water loving has died out of late (even though I have been constantly watering, the hot dry year has taken its toll!)
