Thank you to Hans Roemer

I need to express enormous thanks to my father in law. A couple of years ago when I was beginning this project, he gave me a plant identification book, which has helped me constantly. But when I still can't identify some of the plants I'm photographing, he has come to the rescue, spending a huge amount of time filling in the blanks for me. He is not only an incredibly knowledgeable botanist, but also a wonderful photographer, and very patient and helpful with regard to my project. Also, some of the plants in this collection are from his garden. Thank you Vati!!
