Larkspur
“At first I thought she was making a joke, but Lydia's immediate enthusiasm and Win D'Angelo's protests at being excluded persuaded me otherwise. It seemed they were all passionate gardeners, innocent of irony.
I knew Denise was an herbalist. Dennis was always bringing her cuttings and always making excuses not to drink the teas and tisanes she brewed for him. I'd seen the Huffs' heroic landscaping at a cocktail party they hosted in May, but I'd assumed they owed the profusion of spring gree...nery to Greenthumb, the local firm of landscape gardeners. Not so. Lydia, it seemed, propagated irises and had once manufactured her own line of herbal cosmetics. Winton D'Angelo, though Angharad was firm in refusing to let him come, grew prize-winning roses.
Janey Huff looked as if she'd rather be out on the lake, but she got up obediently when the older ladies rose to go. I had to follow suit. I like to look at people's gardens, and, since I moved west, I've begun to learn how to identify the native plants.MoreLess
