Then I write about it and illustrate it. The goal is to share what I know. There is no plan to limit the content to a narrow focus, so the articles will include both garden or cultivated species and wild ones.     If any reader desires to suggest that I treat a certain plant, feel free to contact me. Also, should I write anything that is in need of clarification, or is thought incorrect, please let me know.     NOTE: While updating my Trees of Seattle book, I had no time for additional Plant of the Month articles. Hence the gap. Also July 2008 is skipped because I used that month to write a newsletter.
