My grandfather opened a marigold seed head and showed me all the seeds within - he said "You only have to buy seeds or a plant once - God takes care of the rest."

He strung cord up his front porch for morning glories and would sit out there with his coffee in the morning. He said "This is like living in the heart of a rainbow."

He taught me how to look at nature and constantly be amazed. He died at 82 in 1974 and I still miss him!
