In 1993, the top pop song, Whoomp! (There It Is) could have been my theme. Except I was a music snob and wouldn't have listened to that kind of popular radio rot. I was a plant snob too.Thanks for reading Plant People! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
Your "Whoomp!" is our gain. Thanks for being that plant snob we have all come to love & trust, and seek out for garden info, encouragement and inspiration !!!
oh - btw - the crinum I purchased at the GPPA field trip is blooming - I was pleasantly surprised as I thought it wouldn't do so until next year - yee haw !!!!!
okee dokee ... thanks for the info - crinums are new to me so I can use all the help I can get. Also, I got some seeds that are doing quite well but I'm not sure when I should pot them up individually - they are all in one big shallow dish right now ?????
NO! It is not too much. To me the journey that you went thru picking the crinum is important. I like being able to read what your thoughts were as you considered and rejected various plants. I bet you have some fun anecdotes about the various people and clubs who invited you to push a particular plant. Those probably need to be in another book
Well, I'm happy my fashion direction appeals to you. But disappointed that I disapppointed you in writing. It's too much isn't it? Too many wandering thoughts, not enough action.....

Actually, it is this book. But the stories here on substack are just teasers for the book. I'm not sure I make that clear.....
Hate to say it, Jenks, but my favorite part this time is the pictures! That pink shirt!

Oh no, it's not too much at all. I just looooove that photo of you bending over pink crinums in your pinkish shirt. Sorry to be gushing over an image.
Agreed!
Okay, I'm a fashionista at heart.
I can’t wait to read the whole story - looking forward to the release!!!
Me too...So ready to be finished with all the final details...
