Do you see this beautiful flower bed? It sits next to the Smithsonian castle in Washington D.C. Sure, the tulips were past their prime today, but I had to capture this beauty of a border, this lush and inviting green.
I didn't expect to see it here, so ornamental you'd forget you could chop off the whole plant and eat it. I pondered all day how if there were so many people visiting the nation's capitol, it was entirely possible I could run into an old friend. I just didn't expect that friend to be a sweet curvy row of parsley.
I always thought parsley was such a bold, glamorous herb.
ReplyDeleteThe book *All-in-One Garden* by Graham Rice is illustrated by many beautiful photographs showcasing the beauty of 'utilitarian' plants.
I will tuck that title away and attempt to come across it sometime. :). It sounds wonderful!
DeleteWOW, that was totally unexpected, but beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too--and my poor photo hardly does it justice!
