I had to laugh at the better memory one. Yesterday, I was looking up DIY (insert forgotten herbaceous bush plant here) supports. For the life of me, I could not come up with that plant name, even tho I have 8 of them at this house. I started with a G search. Nope. I started with the letter A. Got bored. Left the tab open, walked away, walked outside, and BOOM! Got the name in my brain.

Peony.

Aging gracefully is likely 50% self-tolerance, at least, @Rhodie Ranch .

It must be easier to remember names of plants somewhere tropical and with plants that have about the same appearance 12 months out of each year.

I mean, how similar are a few dead stick coming out of the ground for 6 months out of the year and the extravagance elegance of a flowering peony plant? I'm lucky if the winter look of my hydrangea don't completely wash the memory of what they look like in bloom completely out of my mind.

Speaking of looks.

Can anything compare?

I see Carol Dee ...

Mistakes. I make so many that others' don't usually make me laugh. I just think that the person went off course or is witless and, probably, best ignored. This, however, was just too much!

I keep reading about people's memories. I don't want to brag, but after all my years my memory is so good I can remember things that never happened.
