They end up in the museum, so need to be timeless as you say. I like Michelle's approach to fashion, young and attractive.<br />The red bush is an Australian native shrub, very hardy. We call the blue one Plumbago and have it in white also. Does it have the same name in Portugal? xxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-19110427070734442772013-01-16T14:09:35.896-08:002013-01-16T14:09:35.896-08:00Fingers crossed for the day lily.
