Paul: I think there is a connection with plants and interest in other forms of nature's expression. How could anyone not consider the places where plants that we enjoy grow. We all focus on the things that can interfere with growing these plants as well as the things that are necessary for them to thrive. ( pollinators/symbiotic organisms). I never met Adam but spoke on the telephone about a trade for some Lycoris sprengeri he craved that I had. I think I may have met him at the IBS symposium in Chicago a number of years ago. A man with a true passion for plants! Arnold
