What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

Kathy- thanks so much for this-your kind words are much appreciated.

Bill-thanks, re-the transparency…I was sort of envisioning the banner and sidebar buttons as rusty ironwork-like old gates you can see through.

Oh yes, I agree. Very nice.

I like having the transparency in the banner as well as in all the columns.
