I couldn't resist bringing home more sweet peas and dahlias from the garden. Next to the rose, the Sweet Pea is my favorite floral fragrance. After I picked them, and put them in a jar of water in my car, I felt a little disappointed. I had picked them too late. The freshest fragrance of new blooms was gone. But, as I drove home the heat in the car activated the fragrance. I had to laugh, the fragrance was so overwhelming.
I've got an entire long row of these pink dahlias bordering my garden plot. I'm not sure what the weed is that has these little seed-berries, but an old friend of mine collects them for her parrot, who considers them a treat.
