Fatima Does Dying Swan – The Encore Performance

 


Just when we thought Fatima had settled comfortably into her fabulous Motown Beehive era…She’s decided to show us her dramatic range.I looked out the window earlier and there she was — head and new leaves dramatically flopped over like a prima ballerina taking her final bow in Swan Lake.One minute she’s proudly displaying her 12 shiny new leaves.
The next she’s doing full “woe is me” mode, leaning tragically to one side as if the weight of her own success has become too much to bear.
The lower leaves are still trying to hold the fort and look respectable, but the top half has completely committed to the bit.I’m not sure if she’s just tired from all the rapid growth, top-heavy from her own ambition, or secretly auditioning for the lead role in “Fatima: A Tragedy in Twelve Leaves”.Meanwhile, Caroline is watching from her horizontal position with pure, unfiltered side-eye.
She’s been working on her tragic sulk for months, and now Fatima has swooped in and stolen the dramatic spotlight with one casual faint.
The garden soap opera continues.Will Fatima rise again with grace and strengthen those new leaves?
Or will she remain dramatically horizontal for the rest of the week, milking the moment for all it’s worth?
Place your bets.
Gardens...who'd 'ave 'em?
