Crocus September 2009

[Maggi Young]

Dima, my pleasure to congratulate you.... of course, everyone knows that a grower and lover of plants knows a lot about patience and hard work, so I am sure that is a help to your success!

[Paul T]

Congratulation from here in Australia, Dima.  It's an achievement to complete any form of study, and rarely is it ever easy.    Well done.

[Ragged Robin]

Dima, many congratulations from me too - a wonderful achievement and it will make time off for your 'hobby'  seem all the sweeter

Thomas, it's realy my comeback but comeback from my everyday science! Finally I defended my PhD thesis and just recently obtained my PhD Diploma in Immunology! So from now I think I could enjoy my bulb growing hobby more freely!  

Dima.

 Dima , this is great news: Many Congratulations to you on your Doctorate !

I must say that I just heard the other day that another forumist, "PEAK" - Per-Åke Löfdahl , has successfully defended his thesis and at last (after more than 7 years of work) became a doctor in biotechnology. so the number of Forum Doctors is increasing fast!  


Well done to you all for your long efforts!  

Ah, but not a single one who can cure the common cold!

Congratulations all the same, Per-Ake and Dima. A just reward for years of hard and dedicated work.

Brilliant crocus pictures in the last few pages. A great treat after not checking in for a few days. One might almost ask who needs them in spring when autumn gives so many?

Catching up after a couple of days of absence !

Also many congrats to both Dima and Per-Ake for finishing their studies so succesfully !!

Lesley and Luc! Many thanks!!!

Lesley, I think till present all the scientists in the world cure a common world heating!  But it turned to be a common cold  Now in Kiev it's a marvelous sunny and dry autumn it's not typical for such period as usually!
