it's tiger lily.
If you want your garden to
flourish like the green bay tree,
don't watch it or fuss over it.
Just give it plenty of nourIsh-

The cells would attach their

Never let a garden know that
you WANT it to grow, or that 1t

take the least interest in life.
1t never does to let a garden
suspect that you take it seriously.
A garden doesn't like to feel that

It has true masculine pride--and

If a garden felt that you were
deliberately PLANTING a seed

Immediately. Drop in the seeds
