climbing vines... nature's layers
ahhh…. the succulent climbing vine, my inner garden goddess aches for them to cover my world. Traipsing over everything…tempting each surface with fleshy audacious greens and flora…… embellishing the smallest fissure …..fearlessly exploring facades with exuberant passion and pleasure…granting a veil of verdant beauty to anything she touches, even a life-less surface will look bewitching with a mere layer of vine. I realize I am describing my nature version of 50 Shades of Grey. Well….one must dream not only in color and pattern ( and passion…) …but in natures awakenings as well. I imagine you crave these untamed Jane Eyre-esque looking vine encrusted fantasies as much as I do…perhaps? Above….wisteria dreams, yes, she is an invader..she can rapture any surface or tree…..( she will in fact sadly kill a tree if you let her)..but in the right spot…she will charm you with her fragrant eccentricity. Naturally I adore her..she is Asian after-all.
The climbing rose is high on my list as well….vines are quintessential for adding a layer of whimsicality to any home, shed…fence…why stop there…..you can train her to dance…around windows, doors….if you dare tame nature…as you know very well..she is not the submissive. Vines will undoubtedly embrace any surface you taunt them with.
Vigorous blooming incongruity…she is……ambrosial , delicate…. harmonious in most any spot. An optimistic treasure of nature…one that will have your heart if you let her.
In fact…she may own it outright if you are not careful….
Let her inside….and she’ll add a layer of nature to your porch, or your kitchen….attainable fantasy awaits!
She is the charm fairy on crack. She is endless summer…+ ….the center of attention. She is instantly sophisticated but has her country wits about her. She is haute bohemian…and all things romantic. She is a kaleidoscopic of color and texture and wonderment. Your new BFF…..take a chance.
Cheers and verdant wanderlusting vines,
xx
