magnolia grandiflora goliath - help me please
Personally, I am quite used to the most stupid of conclusions reached
by supposedly PG students~~albeit under stress, in haste, and without time for further reflection. Last year:- " If your parents could not have children then you will also remain childless" [This was not the first time I had seen this statement] "We forget how many of our ancestors died as young children, through starvation" This latter quote I initially passed and it only dawned on me some minutes later!!. I'd have thought this quote was perfectly possible - just not in the direct line. Aunts and uncles etc., are ancestors, too. ;-) I rather like "Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children". -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds after garden to email me)________________________ Thanks for responding. Uncles and Aunts are relatives. None of our ancestors died childless. This was the trap I nearly fell into. I wondered if the 'grandiflora' aspect just implied to them that the flowers were large. On the other hand how many tyros understand any Latin these days? I agree re. our children. When they were young I thought them lovely enough to eat. As teenagers I wished I had done!! Grandchildren are different~ you can hand them back. Last week my 6 yr.o. g.daughter walked in with a trug of flower trusses from the tomatoes ~~ having previously watched me removing side shoots!!. She is still my 'best girl in the world'~~truly. Thanks again Brian. |
