If you look at the latest issue, there is an article about 'Plant Collections', and page 18 has an (admittedly not terribly flattering) picture of me

I dont get that but congrats did not know you are a celebrity makes me feel that much more in important to converse with you

you know while you are out with your plants you are not to look your greatest anyway its the mark of a true plant lover!!

where was this photo taken?

Congratulations, Hetty! Great!

Thank you both. Mike - the picture was taken at the Naples Botanical Garden.

Wonderful that you volunteer and that your work was recognized.

Jonna - I used to volunteer. Now I get paid

thats the way to do it!!!!

that's even better! It's the recognition though that is a good thing to get, pay is great but if no one recognizes how good you are at what you do, there is little satisfaction. So, paid or not, I'm thrilled you got the recognition you deserve.

Thank you, and I agree. I'd rather have this than a raise
