The camellias droop in the sun and heat, but it is cool under their shade. Frog-leaved geraniums and nasturtiums take advantage of the shade and pool out from under the mass of camellia. Geranium-scent mixing with persistent mint and powdery heliotrope. Down the steps and into the sun, the wily moss-rose looks utterly pleased with itself crawling over bruised and limp petunias, their petals staining the path forward with purple. The flagstone leads you to a blackberry thicket trying to make itself as inviting as it can with it's ripe berries.
