Blowing through the jasmine in my mind." - Summer Breeze, Isley Brothers
Fine...the summer breeze blowing through flowers in my mind aren't strictly jasmine. Actually, they're wisteria. We have it growing around the top of the porch outside the front door. Every May for the last decade of my life these tendrilled plants, yearning for something to curl round, burst into sweet purplish-blue bloom. Last week they finally blossomed, and now I have the opportunity to reach up and touch them as I leave the house every day.
I think that the colour of the wisteria flower is absolutely gorgeous. So I hunted down the beauty products that match the shade the best - click on the image below to see them and my wisteria :)
