Kathy, your comment about how "all native plants are not good"? I couldn't help but be reminded of the term "natural"--that one gets thrown around an awful lot, as if natural things were always good for us. But poison ivy is natural. Arsenic is, too. Mercury, lead, toadstools . . . well, you get the idea.

I wish I could have made the meeting. It's a topic I'm really interested in, but I had to take a pass.

As for the Golden Flame--jeez!--maybe there's a lesson for us here. Perhaps how to politely handle difficult clients (politely firing them, too) would make a good topic for another month. :)

Best wishes,
Debbi
