new arrival: sunny kalanchoe Tweet

There was the unexpected arrival of the first kalanchoe and there was this looping whine of mine: can we just go to Columbia Road Flower Market the next Sunday we're at home? And then there was the first Sunday we were at home, and I slept late because that's what I want to do, in fact, every morning, but can't. The second Sunday at home it rained horribly. The third Sunday at home we went to a concert. The fourth Sunday at home wasn't at home at all because all of a sudden I wanted to wake up at 6 a.m. and jump on a train. By the time I couldn't see a potential fifth Sunday at home in the calendar and the feeble summer seemed to be running through my fingers, I gave in and took a stroll to the only decent flower shop in the neighbourhood, desperate to get a baby with flowers, or more. Mission accomplished. Though I couldn't resist one without flowers, and kalanchoe wasn't what I had in mind, and that fourth Sunday? I ended up buying more plants with and without flowers. For what is a girl to do with her balcony but green it?
