It's my observation that gardeners and gardening for a very long time have had to take a back seat. Architects are very famous; they've got huge projects. What goes on in and around them has been relegated to a very minor role.
Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.
I'm a flower gardener.
If I wasn't going to be a surgeon, I wanted to be a farmer or grow oranges or something like that. I grow flowers now - orchids. That is something that I find very interesting.
I'm a decent man who exports flowers.
My parents owned a plants nursery. We all grew up growing things and planting things and selling things, and I also managed landscape crews.
I've always had an affinity for growing things.
I wrote three books, I had three greenhouses. It seemed to me to be very satisfactory.
I have a big passion for flowers and nature.
