:-) Well, some of mine are of venerable age and massive size, but I
couldn't in all honesty say they had the look of a fine
specimen...just can't bear to heave a plant I've grown for nearly 30
years or so...every fall, when I bring them in, I promise them I will
take better care of them this winter and every year, I find all I can
manage is to try to keep them watered enough so they don't shrivel
up. They are so used to this, they simply don't pay any attention to
what I say anymore and just hunker down and hang in there until they
get to go back outside for the summer again.
