What a good question! My mother had a dozen children and a garden. She often compared the kids to the flowers and vice versa. We didn't get it then, but I know there were days when my one sister was crabgrass. When we couldn't find Mom, a peek out the dining room window would give a good view of her out in her quiet place, bottoms up. Our whole family are sentimental gardeners and everyone _must_ have a viburnum in her memory. Yep, it runs in families.
