You had me at "Top Gear"

**M* W* <m*@earthlink.net>**

I know nothing about cars, but I love Top Gear. I use scientific

nomenclature for plants in general conversation as well as talks to

groups, but I don't mind at all that I need to explain with humor or

examples or whatever what it is that I'm talking about. I believe

that's what the Top Gear guys do.

And, of course, the garden connection here is that James May created

a garden for Chelsea last year. OK, so it was made from plasticine ...

Sent from my computer while sitting in a Starbucks in London because

the hotel Internet was too expensive. Heading for Hampton Court on

Wednesday.
