😍 How to cover an ugly spot with a fragrance and and beauty, stop and smell the roses
  • 🌹 Our Quisqualis vine - Rangoon Creeper - has grown over a roof of our water treatment system (which wasn't the prettiest view!). Now every time we pass by we have to "stop and smell the roses". It is so beautiful, and it does smell like roses!
