    I planted 11 tulip bulbs today. 5 inches deep. So, yes...

    I always really thought I was. Until I confused the Roundup for the Miracle Grow.

    Evidently the OP ms70 intended to send me a PM, but rather posted it to the entire forum. Only by chance did I happen to notice it.

    Fortunately I created a new topic because until now I didn't know about you. Glad you showed up and thanks for the response!

    Link to related thread on first post....asking to ID the foliage on a coin. Not surprisingly (hello internet) the thread has wandered a bit. And, now I'm hungry and sad that I ate the last persimmon of the season yesterday.

    I love the organics Displayed here, and am excited to hear @botanist explanation of the arrangement on the reverse of these coins. Great description! Here is one of my higher grade examples of which I finally know what is being depicted in the wreath :) I think this is proof like so maybe I should resubmit it now.
