Kathy, I am death to -- of all things -- TITAN'S GLORY. Can you believe
that? Every start I get of TG dies, or else tries so hard to die I get sick
of looking at it. And TG is not a hard plant to grow, right?

Confession time: Does anyone else out there routinely kill one specific
famously good garden iris? I think to qualify as a Black Thumb for such a
plant, you must have tried to grow it at least twice and failed.
