I did a Marine Corps rollcall of all the bulbs I planted last year and all are "present", with no "accountings". I even have some renagade Lily of the Valley, and and my grafting of a Tropicana tea rose with climber I believe to be a Fiesta, has "gone green". I have long called the climber "The Rose That Ate West Virginia" and if the graft holds I will name it "The By-God Cha Cha."

In addition, I am gainfully retired with, as the Irish would say, Money in Both Pockets.
