St Fiacre, Brooms and Weeds
Gardening, I was told in 'chemo class,' is a great way of thwarting the effects of chemotherapy. I made an appointment with my wife to run to our local northern Virginia gardening center of choice and purchased: two butterfly bushes, two lilacs, and two Scottish brooms. All now reside in my front yard which passes more as a perennial garden than a 'lawn' (the only grass doesn't belong and is weeded).
So, thanks to the estimable Daniel Mitsui for lauding good saint Fiacre. God bless and may your perennials long prosper to His glory.
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

Or, my wife has a black thumb. It's one of the two. :-D
