The stately All Saints Anglican Church in the Via del Babuino, Rome. @randallday @billyhurbaugh #allsaintschurch #episcopaliansinrome

Love the desk with its leather blotter insert, vintage photos against the dark wall, and especially the slender nickel plated lamps. #portraitroma #ferragamohotels #rome #boutiquehotel

A chic, modern room at the Portrait Roma, the Ferragamo hotel in Rome. #needtounchopthosepillows #portraitroma #viacondotti #lungarnocollection #boutiquehotel

Love this Ladybird poppy at #chelseaowershow. In US of course we’d say “ladybug”. #ladybirdpoppy #ladybugpoppy #ladybug #ladybird

The extraordinary 300,000 hand crocheted poppies covering 21,000 sq ft on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, as viewed from #chelseaflowershow, in tribute to war veterans and inspired by the previous #poppiesattoweroflondon. Created by gatden designer #PhillipJohnson.

Looks cool but tricky to mow. You’d need one of those newfangled mow-bot thingies. Do they call them #mowbots? More #chelseaflowershow fun. #grasssculpture #gardensculpture

Zantedeschia ‘Nashville’ won best new plant 2016, #chelseaflowershow. Gorgeous isn’t it?! #callalilies #zantedeschianashville #zantedeschia

So much to love at the Chelsea Flower Show, pleached hornbeams among them. #chelseaflowershow #pleachedhornbeams #parterre #showgarden

What a treat to visit the beautiful Ladbroke Square with new Instafriend @charmajestylinens and her darling friends. #Ladbrokesquare, at 7 acres, is the second largest private garden in London and lovingly cared for by talented garden designer Sarah ___, her volunteer committee, one fulltime gardener, and one helper. #londongardens #privategardensoflondon
