With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to

That's it. Oh, oh -- another genera to explore 
Just starting to get comfortable with the "little" plants -- my 1st R. perlexa & rabrisii's blooming after surviving me for 3 yrs. Is this more of the "Neverending Journey" 
? So how's the back doing?

Re: hobs topic 2012 (year 7)
Sorry, to hear that -- but don't let the label "permanent" throw you, sometimes things still change in spite of medical pronouncements. I'm a veterinarian & have seen it with animals -- & read too many human accounts of things "not supposed to happen". And hopefully your plants will be with you to help.
