In high school, I was lucky to have a handsome and charming friend who helped me pass the time in my German Conversation class. I didn't enjoy speaking the language that much, but the banter with him made those classes go by quickly. He used to tell me that I looked like Loretta Swift, AKA Hot Lips on M*A*S*H. I remember thinking -yuck! She's not very cute... and she's old! I probably wouldn't think the same thing now.
Hot Lips is also the common name of a annual salvia that I included in one of my giant containers. It has bloomed its head off this summer. A complete whim of a purchase, along with small red canna plants. The happy accident is that I mixed them together - not knowing the canna would be in the same color family. Voila!
