    "Really, for gate-crashing commend me to Foxgloves! They just make up their minds and off they go to some spot in the garden, perhaps to some corner you have not had time to think about (and how one loves them for that alone), or perhaps into a border where you had quite different ideas. You can imagine them forming fours and marching off to some fairy parade ground they have planned to invade."

    "A Gardener's Log", p. 25
