Can you smell “the scents from heaven” of freshly picked basil, our own garlic and our sweet/ripe thin-skinned tomatoes as they unhurriedly bubble together on the stove to become pappa al pomodoro for dinner tonight?
Behind (because I don’t find the tall plants attractive) the house above, I planted six dahlias for cut flowers in the colors most suited to grace the various areas of Genius Loci www.geniuslociumbria.com and our house. I love these flowers with my Brozzetti handwoven runner in these amazing colors. Marta’s inspired and creative work is beyond remarkable www.brozzetti.com and transforms even the most humble abode into a reggia.
One of my favorite, climbing roses, New Dawn, a delicately hued, heavenly scented and copiously blooming floribunda varietal.
