Rosemary Harris said...: Thanks for taking all of the great plant names for your books! You've made it hard for the rest of us. I almost called book two Money Plant (after Corpse Flower was nixed), but the publisher didn't like it.

Quiz time -
Everything sounded believable to me until the alligator...in Massachusetts?; June 11, 2009 9:22 AM
Sheila Deeth said...: We used to have lots of honesty in our garden in England. I really miss it.

Quiz: The alligator sounds too unbelievable to be false, so I'll go for the saxophone.; June 11, 2009 11:52 AM
Jan Brogan said...: I'm guessng the house was never destroyed by a tornado.

I'm thinking/hoping the alligator may be ceramic.; June 11, 2009 12:26 PM
Hank Phillippi Ryan said...: Well, would you make up the tornado thing?

I'm going for saxophone.

S'pose you won't tell us any of the names...; June 11, 2009 10:04 PM
Clea Simon said...: I know the pilot part is true, so yeah, I'm going for the sax!

Thanks for having Cynthia on - she's a wonder and her books a joy.; June 12, 2009 11:11 AM
