This is very good! another number bites the dust and can be replaced with a
name! i can remember names forever but have a mind like a sieve for
numbers. I miss Frank Horwood like crazy.
But he lives for me in his plants. he said he did not like Sansevierias, so
i am glad he did this unselfish thing for us by collecting them.
perhaps he was kidding, having been a droll sort!
