Dylan's approach is by far the best one. Even when the owner's wishes
are clearly expressed, survivors don't always respect them or carry them
out in a timely manner; in fact, it's a rarity when they do.
I'll take this opportunity to again praise PBS members and especially
Dell and the BX/SX for providing such a wonderfully easy and economical
way to share things, many of which are not easy to find elsewhere.
Bravo, Dell!

Valuable collections vanishing soon after a changing of the guards or death
of the owner is a familiar story. One way to counter this problem is for
owners and caretakers to do their utmost to propagate and distribute
valuable plants before the End. If this is carried-out during the most
dynamic period of a collector's and collection's life then the
ultimate fate of the collection will matter much less. It is also the
living knowledge that goes with the plants that is of great value,
something that can only be passed on in life.
