LT>creamy and crystal clear colored blooms, and bushy and nice.  Oh she had
LT>some that could have taken awards!  She went into the hosptial for a week,
LT>and left me to care for them.  Right!  Within that week they looked sad,
LT>and two had died.  I hadn't touched them at all, and she had told me that
  Now that's bad, Linda!  OTOH, grandmothers who tell you they don't
  do anything special completely forget that come midmorning on a hot
  day, they pull the plants away from the window and the shades down,
  forget the tipping of an extra cup of cold tea into favourite plants,
  even forget that they lean over and breathe on their babies daily.
  (Oh, that yummy carbon dioxide! )
  They have been treating the plants specially w/o realizing it. I call
  it dynamic management. :-)
LT>But violets hate me with a passion.  (Shrug.)  Just one of those natural
LT>aversion type things I guess.  You can have a natural aversion to other
LT>people, why can't a plant have an aversion to certain people?
  Now that you're off ciggies, try it again, Linda. Maybe they didn't
  like smoke either.
