Hi, everyone.

I hate it when non-addicts pass disparaging judgements on my plants and their numbers. My wife of 35 years (a Saint walking this Earth) said something about my many adeniums the other day. We didn't raise our voices; we never do. However, I told her: "Have you any idea how many women on this planet would give anything so all they could complain about is that their husband has too many adeniums? Count your blessings, girl.". That closed the conversation in a neat and efficient way. Score: Adenium addict: 1, His wife: 0.

In my own opinion, I could be considered overdoing it when I plan to buy an acre of land just so I can grow my adeniums in peace. Then, she can write that quack Dr. Phil and go tell her sob story on national TV. As things stand now, she's got nothing, and she knows it. But, leave it to Phil to find fault with all that, give it a negative spin and pick it to death so she becomes the poster lady for Adenium Widows Without Borders... but i digress and for that, I am sorry.

A glorious Easter , or Passover to everyone reading this.
Sylvain.
