Well, Walta, while I can't argue with most of your selections, I have
to say a word in defense of THORNBIRD. In my experience, it depends
on the garden in which you see it. I have seen it looking "ho-hum"
and I have seen it looking very handsome. But I haven't yet seen it
looking "yuk!" (i.e., ugly). But, of course, we all know where
beauty is. -- Griff
