Alice arrived today - so of course I well stocked the house with flowers ... or thought I had done. For the bunch of ranunculi sucked up a whole jug full of water during the night and, aqua-soaked, collapsed in a soggy heap. I rescued five or six heads, but that was, in truth, a wild expenditure of $4 that, despite their original beauty, turned out to be the horticultural equivalent of built-in obsolescence.
