This technique could make them even better. Mr. Lighthouse said it helped to practice moving the focus of the lens a uniform, tiny amount at a time. He said he would practice while he watched TV.

The Agave-Manfreda hybrids sound wonderful, and I'm so glad you plan to write about Tony Avent's methods for forcing offsets. That Aloe erinacea...! Next year...
