I dug out the ones that were sneaking towards the front of the border,

I have even resorted to getting someone else to plant them for me,

We've put them in all sorts of places here but with no luck so now I'm

Do you remember? many years ago, when we met, you gave me LOTV? I
planted them, loved them, cherished them - all to no avail!!!!! They
certainly went green, but they didn't flower and the following year,
they only just emerged, the following year - nothing!!!! sob!

I must admit I'd forgotten that. I have tried the white ones and the
pink ones and gnash my teeth over both. I think I have bad mojo for
them!
