Roses

[Colchicums] are sort of like the nuts in my cookies... I don't think about them a lot, but I'd certainly miss them if they weren't there.

It soon becomes clear to the gardener, who has probably started out to achieve a certain bloom, that the cycle of life in the plant is a good bit more enjoyable than the bloom itself.

Low maintenance is for homeowners, not gardeners!

Optimism overrules pessimism because every spring is an opportunity to start again.
