a positive gift, a hobby,

unlike philately and slovenly.



it is meticulous,  and out

of doors, so very healthy.



slowly collect plants

carefully, while grading

size and colour. as they grow

regrade, dry, press in bibles

ready for the fray.



I have read of this, will

take it up, immerse and

remember. number all

the specimens adequately

until I die.



I grade, to graven, I have gradened.
