Come to me, in all your glamour and cruelty
Who: Beau Rosier and Blair Adler
What: Friendly Garden Chats
When: Thursday afternoon, January 4th
Where: Rosier Manor, Conservatory
For the most part, the conservatory needed very little fiddling to keep it warm. Still, on days like this when it dipped into the single digits, it did help to keep the heaters running. For now, the room held steady at about 40 degrees, still well above the danger threshold for orchids. Beau stood at one end of the room, quietly tending to his plants. Only a handful were really in bloom for now, with the rest in their growth cycle. Wrapped in a dark sweater, and darker coat, he wielded a small set of shears with expert focus, forgoing an apron since he had no plans to really get his hands dirty.
His own stress had him babying the flowers in his care. He wasn’t hiding, exactly he just needed a break. He refused to leave Viola to do the lion share of hosting but he still needed space to breathe after having to smile and cooly welcome that many people into his house after two years of living largely alone. Carefully he clipped a dead leaf from the base of one of his blooms.
Beau was certain he was safe out here, for now at least. Surely no one from inside the house would want to venture out again after so recently regaining access to heaters.
