"Burnt" Yellow orchids in a lacquer vase in the hallway.
Pink roses in a silver bucket on the newly named "bling" table, (formerly known as a "tablescape").
"Elephant ear" leaves in a Chinese yellow-glazed pot.
The quieter streets of Bangkok over this long Lent weekend have made trips to the flower market a bit of a breeze, and the market itself less of an obstacle course. Anyway, it provided the ideal opportunity to venture forth and see what is on offer.
The temptation is always to buy far more than is required without turning the place into a flower shop, or at worst a chapel of rest, so as in many elements of design, less is better. I'm reminded of the advice given by mothers to their young daughters before going out on a first date, "now take one thing off". (It's important to remember the suggestion of the article to be removed is usually jewellery, lest you think a mother is accused of encouraging her virginal daughter to be provocative in her dress sense.)
