Survival? Well, if they don't survive everything else is incidental! Some
aren't even a faded memory!
Some of mine survive, but show a marked tendency toward "failure to thrive."
When a seedling is planted among it's siblings and simply sets there with
no growth or stops at very little growth, survival becomes relatively
unimportant. Again, I don't move it to another position. It had the same
opportunities as it's siblings. When they behave this way, I don't even want to see
them bloom! Cause they are sure to be pretty! Murphy's law!
