light different from our own, you might have some charm but with the
Aconitum carmichaelii just planted close by, you have a dangerous (in
more ways than one) rival this year singing the summer blues in an
English garden.

*sobbing* it is not my fault. You put me in this corner and I have done my
very very best. I put out my very best colours and you call me garish. I
din't ask to be brought here. I didn't ask to be planted here next to this
blowsy A.carmichaeli which hides my subtlty and has no shame. Very well,
so be it. I have loved my time here but if you deny the chance of existence
I must abide by it. I shall pray to the plant god when I am in that Garden
above and may all your leaves fall off

Ceanothus
Well said Ceanothus!
