<< What plants have emotional meaning for you? What plants do you grow for

I'm not a religious person per say, however, when my tree peonies open in the
spring and I look at my Joseph rocks, single and double varieties, which are
pure white with an artist brush stroke of dark purple, or my poppies with the
artist stroke of pure black against the red, orange, pink, white, and blends
of each other, or the fascination of the different colors and tones all
enveloped in each iris.  This year I have some sort of disease attacking all
of the poppies and causing them to wilt.  I probably look at them ten times a
day not knowing what to do to save them.

  My neighbor that paints in my garden every year is now selling his paintings
in the 10 to 15 thousand  dollar range because of my poppies and they are
dying right in front of us.  Talk about sentimental reasons.  My neighbors
paintings are becoming famous, and the garden that he paints in is dying from
some unknown wilt disease and I don't know what to do.  No real help from this
round robin.  It's not just sentimental, but also very emotional to helplessly
watch my plants dying.  Donna Adams in Detroit.
