5) Most difficult species to grow....for you?

Not a chance .... If I said that something was difficult people would tell me 
that it grows in the cracks in their driveway, they've tried spraying it but it 
still comes back, the flowers are nice but it's really rather common don't you 
think, it's an invasive exotic you shouldn't even try to be growing this you 
evil person, you're watering it too much, it's not hardy for your zone. 

6) Rarest plant in your collection?

Only those who throw caution to the winds would dare utter a word, here. 
On the other hand, since it really doesn't matter all that much, I have plants 
that are so rare they've never even heard of themselves. You've heard of "carpe 
diem", well, I have a motto, "carpe plantem". Since I no longer have someone to 
stare at me disapprovingly at a plant sale, and say things like "Help that 
little old lady up off the floor and give her her plant back", well, look out 
is all I can say. Any cool selection of a western native plant has to be mine. 
When you hear that exceptional nursery people, like, say, Jerry Morris, are 
giving up their activities, you don't just sit there and think "Huh". You act.
