Titanarum

Wall flowers have a lovely scent. Not always pretty to look at but then you can’t have everything all of the time. Some cultivars tick both boxes though. I prefer the slightly variegated pale purple, pale pink and pale yellow ones. I sowed a pack of multicoloured wall flowers a few years back in the hope that I would be able to pick the colours I liked and discard the others. But something went wrong along the way. Or the colours didn’t stay true. What I expected to be a bluish red turned my pet hate colour: rusty orange. I picked them the other day but have hid them in a dark corner in the living room so that the scent is all I notice. The disappointment is bearable but I shall not sow packs of multi coloured flowers again. The winds raging this Easter have deterred me from doing my bit for the plot. I will sort the place out in clement weather, thank you very much. And I’d advise everybody else to do the same, were I in the habit of advising. But I’m not. Due to chronic inconsistency and irrational, mood dependent behaviour I fly in the face of role modelling.
