  1. Dear Mr. J.,

    Have you read Michael Bollan's "The Botany of Desire"? It contains a fascinating chapter on tulips (along with equally memorable chapters on apples, marijuana, and potatoes, both organic and genetically modified).

    Check it out!

  2. I thought that Mt. Vernon, Washington was back here, near the right Washington.

    Whatever.

    Nice flowers, Dutch.
