A Rose Garden for Romance

unobtrusive places to perfume the evening air - since evening is an especially auspicious time for romance. And there must be some white Nigella - "Love in a Mist" placed here and there where there are holes to fill. A few African daisies (Dimorphotheca sinuata 'Glistening White') are required, tucked just behind the front edging, since they are not only beautiful but provide ample opportunity for a good game of "She loves me; She loves me not."

Finally, I would tuck a bench into the most secluded corner of this little area, not too close to thorns, not too far from the fragrance. There I would sit, waiting for love to come my way - and if it never arrived, I could still be happy with a garden that gives me fragrance and bloom for the entire summer and that special feeling that only a garden can bring.
