With apologies to Joseph Conrad, I cannibalized his famous Heart of Darkness line when I found the main stem of my beloved Lady Banks' rose was truly brittle,done in by Debbie. I kept hoping I would see a tiny sprig of returning green. After all, the coontie palm came back from the dead as did three of the four camellias. Even the limequat rose from the ashes. But the Lady is not coming back. Her demure, golden glory will not grace the jasmine arch this year. I will miss her.
