To the Phacter,
Thank you so much for your many kind words. It certainly seems true that my particular vascular cambium has been active this past decayed. Fortunately my periderm has remained exophyllactic, but perhaps a bit piliose.
I'm trying not to have a reaction to the wood in the photo you used to commerate my special day. It seems you are branching out of your normal area, perhaps in an attempt to slash your way into new fields of study? I hope you are not suggesting my wood is soft?? It could create tension between us.
But, old friends will tease, as it should be. The older the friend, the greater the tease. I welcome the sparring, and burn a candle for you that someday you will make the transition from growing plants to finding ways to actually use them for some useful purpose besides looking at their sexual parts. That's what the internet is for!
Dr. Chips
