Name: Anne Summerville, SC (Zone 8a) Only dead fish go with the flow!
When I lived in England there was a climbing rose planted underneath a Deodar Tree that had to be at least 40 feet tall. I didn't even know it was there until one morning when I got up and looked out the bedroom window on the 2nd floor of the house and saw roses in the Deodar Tree! What? That's when I discovered the rose bush at the base of the tree. There were no leaves anywhere and looked rather pitiful but it had snaked its way up the tree until it found sun.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
