For Cousin Bob...

...because as far as we know, the master gardener has never been able to successfully add this beautiful species, to his palm collection. Bob, we think of you and the girls every time we see these, which, since they are everywhere, is often.

For Mindy...

...since we won't be able to visit in the hospital or during your recovery, some flowers for you.

Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls;
For, thus friends absent speak.

-- John Donne
