If I hadn’t gone down to the studio today to try to find a bee and flowers to decorate the hors d’oeuvre plate I took to Jim’s memorial, I would have missed seeing this wonderful flower in its prime, snuggled up against the down ramp from my bedroom terrace to the lower garden and studio. I keep forgetting to go down and see what new surprises appear there daily.
