Flowers have always been my big pleasure. I'd rather be outside digging in the dirt with my plants than anything else. I've been growing orchids about 25 years.

I know [my corn plants] intimately, and I find it a great pleasure to know them.

I'm taking care of the rest of it, ... We are building more plants and we are conserving, but prices under the law we passed in 1996 are exclusively a matter for the federal government to resolve -- and they've dropped the ball big time.

I was lucky because my greenhouse was shielded by my house.

We've just seen so much destruction. I really think we need to forget about Katrina for a while and see the beauty. I think it will go a long way towards our recovery.
