One of my most graceful and delightful friends (and role model) has a spectacular garden. In her well-tended and loved landscape, my pal allows self-sowers to do their thing in a heap of color, texture and scent in one part of the garden. The result is as wild and spontaneous as this bouquet that she recently brought me. In it are her signature sweet peas, some California poppies, borage, and salvia (I think). She just plunks them in this Mason jar and voila, a garden right in your living room. Being known as something of a stealth bouquet bestower, everyone knows when Ellen has paid a visit. Her gifts extend well beyond her flowers. Among many other talents, she makes an amazing apricot jam from fruit grown in her garden, and you never know when you might be a beneficiary of her burgeoning succulent collection.
