"I think that's the wonderful part about gardening, the fact that there are so many plants that will grow in the most impossible places. I don't mean impossible ones either, but really attractive ones. Take baby's tears for instance (Erigeron mucronatus). Yes it certainly takes possession...one man said that he bought a plant for a shilling and now he has a thousand pounds worth! But that's what we want it to do in some spots. It's better than dust, at any rate."
"Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, December 1941.
