Now, now, Jane, don't poke fun at the afflicted! G


I am guilty of incorrectness here.


Into the stocks with you!

I'm sick of it. You see it everywhere.



I know the feeling. Knockout is like that here. Anyone who goes to the
grocery, drug store, dentist or doctor's office is an instant expert
on the thing. It must be in every office park/retail center around.


and it's quite dull, actually -
orangey, and no, I don't like many HTs (actually ido like a few).


Which ones? Inquiring minds, you know!


and the dreadful Grandpa Dickson - what a shape!


Pointy. The petals, that is. Spidery.


I hate that.


About Rhapsody in Blue:

I'd say from the specimen I saw at Chelsea that it's just about the same
shade as Cardinal Richelieu after three or four days on the bush. But
it's more saturated. Don't like the shape either, or the scent.


Hmm. Never saw the Cardinal. Maybe two more to add to this year's
list.

h to appreciate Penelope.
Seriously. We all have our down sides.


Gee, I never said that, or thought it. Just my 0.02c that she's lovely,
and an attempt to say a bit about why.


No, no, actually *I* said it! In response to someone's very astute
observations about the subtle attributes of Penelope. I freely admit
it. I can't do math, either!


There is room for every point of view
here, as there should be.


No venom meant. Sorry if some was felt.


None was felt at all! We agree. You answered the post in the spirit in
which I made it--that there is room for all opinions.
