One of my plants is a series in the Sunset district in SF. I had bought some funky carving material and figured I'd do a "throw away" planting (meaning that if they disappeared I wouldn't recarve/replant). It was an experiment for myself also, not just a standard stamp...something for folks to play with. Well, it turned out to be "blue diamond" rated. I was totally surprised and kind of pleased. So, when I found out one was missing, of course I recarved and have been trying to replant (there are some issues hindering a speedy re-do). In the meantime, I "lost" the blue diamond rating. I was surprisingly disappointed, I didn't think I cared that much since I wasn't that attached to that series anyway. I find myself amused at my vacillations. "I thought that series wasn't one of your favorites?" "It isn't, but I liked the ego boost of having a blue diamond." "But it was a "throw away"." "It was until everyone turned out to like it." "Well, is it or isn't it? Are you or aren't you?" "I kinda care, but kinda don't..."
