Flowers for Marty. My friend of many years, Marty, was chatting with a participant about me At a Quail Ridge Reserve ceremony honoring my work in conservation. Along the way, Marty was asked how he had originally met me, Marty outlined a few interesting characteristics, Explained where he had met me with one outstanding point-- I was the only male who, during all his life, Had actually presented to him a large bundle of flowers! (He didn't mention that I raised thousands of narcissus and daffodils Which I sold in several Farmers Markets, And also spontaneously handed them out to all sexes, as I chose!) Now the secret is out.
