This is how I picture Mistress Maddie's garden...
Let's allow Mistress Maddie to tell us about it...
Since I only have potted plants at the Casa du Borghese, read that as small bijoux living, I thought I would send in some from the ancestral home where the Mother lives just West of the Casa.
The place is pretty much surrounded by her favorite blooms.... roses.
When I go home I'll take a few houseboys to prune and tend to the blooms, as I fear taking a prick the wrong way. This years weather did well with them and they seemed to be blooming almost constant.
I also fixed up her little courtyard for her, with a few flowers displayed in unique ways, my visual display came in handy. The houseboys helped me handle placing the wood items. Gave the mother a nice little nook to relax in. One just had to watch. With such tiny space and plant coverage, anything could pop out at a moments notice.
Thank you, Mistress Maddie!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
What a lovely rose garden. Nice mix of shades. Well done Mother of Maddie!

Cyclones and termites? Sounds like Funsville to me. October does seem to be a scandalous month.....
