[The tour she gives is brisk but thorough. The greenhouse is roughly
uniform in temperature, of course, but certain regional variations have
been made - open windows for extra ventilation, high spreading trees to
create a canopy for plants that prefer shade. Ivy can't strictly fault the
place she inherited on her return but she doesn't think it's arrogant to
assert that she's made improvements.
She talks through the beds and planters, explaining what they need,
where their homes are. Some need daily watering, carefully measured
feeding, tender loving care; others need to be deadheaded frequently,
others practically neglected besides checking for disease.]
...anything I don't tell you about, I want you to leave alone. They're from
alien planets and need very specific care.
