And among the collectors one should perhaps recognise a sub-group of
those who purchase a plant simply because it strikes their fancy and
then wander round their garden wondering what they can pull up to
accomodate the new treasure!
Don't forget the other small sub-group that is trying to develop a garden
out of wilderness and buys plants in the hope that the collection sitting
in a corner by the back door will provide enough of an incentive to get
into the next weed-ridden area that is due for clearing so that a new bed
can be made to take the new plants!
