I'm rather obsessed with frangipani, the most wonderfully aromatic flower on earth. While Jesse and I were walking downtown today, we passed the neighborhood nursery and saw them for sale! I had never dreamed of owning a frangipani- it never really occurred to me. I simply always looked forward to walking past them (sometimes I bend over and just inhale for a while). They're all over southern California as common shrubs. Like in heaven.
So today, we got ourselves a frangipani plant. (Actually, it turns out that I've been obsessing over Star Jasmine this whole time. I always thought it was frangipani. Oh well, a flower by any other name would smell as sweet...).
While I was arranging my new plant on the deck with the other plants, I spotted a very young katydid! Too cute. It's about 1 cm long.
So now I have a new heavenly corner of our deck and a cute new friend that lives there! I am sitting next to them as I type this.
We also got the supplies for a little herb garden for Jesse, which I planted. So that will be fun to watch.
