Camellia in Paris

[aimeekitty]

so this is the first plant for my garden! I've started the process of ordering a few English roses,... but they haven't arrived yet. (I'm ordering The Prince (English shrub), Madame Alfred Carriere (Noisette climber), Wildeve (low English shrub) and Felicia (Hybrid Musk).) My idea for evening primroses and salvia got nixed, probably not enough sun, at least not right up next to the house in the front. (if you're curious, this is roughly the sun pattern in the afternoon. The morning is totally shaded by the house)

I've been meaning to get some longer clip-on hair extensions for a while and decided to finally bite the bullet. (look how cute they can look, right? ... I'm not sure who the girl is, she was posted on lolival) I adore the shorter clipons I have. It makes it really easy not to have to worry about your hair, you just pull your natural hair up and clip them on. theosakakoneko recommended bangupwig on ebay, and they have a very competitive price. (You can msg them and ask for a set of two.)

I loved this glittery PARIS sign that Alix posted in her blog. She had visited LA recently... so she'd actually bought the sign somewhere in LA... so I called the shop (“Paris 1900″), and they were willing to mail me one. I'll have to actually visit her store at some point when I have more time. Look at the art nouveau facade!! Mitch, of course, is making fun of me because I've never actually BEEN to Paris... (also in the photo is some of my Nendoroids)

Lovely camellia! What I love about camellia's is they have such pretty leaves that look nice even in their non-flowering season. Which old fashioned roses did you decide to order?

Regarding that corner that stays shady, would the California Wild Rose work? Apparently it's a shady plant, but it doesn't get very tall. I also wonder if there are any morning glories that like the shade.

I'm going to wait and put the roses in and then think about what else I want to do. But I've been considering a CA wild rose. The trouble with them is that they're pretty much impenetrable,... so I'd need to be really sure I want that there.

Ah, those will all look very nice together! From what you say, it's probably a good idea to wait on the CA wild rose.

I have to confess, I'm totally in love with Wildeve! I'm hoping you'll post pictures when they all bloom. :D

I wonder if I've ever seen a Hybrid Musk in person - I probably have but didn't realize it. It looks really lovely.
