And having a shifting array of favorites means never a dull moment! Carpe diem and garden on!

Although I admire thought-provoking writing, I believe that there is a difference between encouraging discussion and inciting emotional diatribes. So I don't enjoy writing filled with absolutes, writing filled with lots of shouting and little listening. I agree with you and Jodi. Let everyone color the world with their own passion. As for me, my favorite color is whatever happens to be in bloom at the moment. The Garden Ranters enjoy being agents provocateurs.

Thank you, Jodi!! I don't love 'dead' either come to think of it! Although, there are some plants that in their healthy state are sort of brownish and slightly crispy - that I love - I think for the contrast with the abundant color of 'alive' of other plants... As for goutweed... we call it by its formal Aegopodium and does it ever really die???? Yay! Thank you, Jodi!! I don’t love ‘dead’ either come to think of it!
