My grandmother & all the "flower ladies" I went with her to see, had a
"rule" that you never said "thank-you" for a plant that was given to you.
I encountered this over & over on tours with her.  They said things like,
"I know I shouldn't thank you or it won't grow, but..." other words to
that effect.  Where did this come from??  Sue Madison
