My deck: I am proud

Yesterday a friend stopped by with a friend of hers, Marie France, who worked with floral designer Christian Tortu for some 14 years.
For those who do not know Christian Tortu , he's the Frenchman who reinvented the art of flowers, back in the late seventies. As this creative spirit's business grew, he had several shops in Paris. One of his shops was in Neuilly, a posh neighborhood where we lived when we came back from Asia. I remember passing by the shop on Avenue du Roule and stopping by to experience the enchantment!

Marie France is a true artist (and has a Master in Art from Sorbonne) and knows a lot about flowers. She runs a business related to floral decoration for special events.
We had a drink on my deck and she told me that my plants were very well taken care of and that the lay out of my plant pots and the choice of plants was "tres joli".
I am sooo proud! Thank you Marie France, your comment went straight to my heart, because yes, you're right, I do spend a lot of time taking care of my plants!
