Louis Lenz was one of my horticulture professors....decades ago! I always remember that when he was asked for the answer to a puzzling question, his reply was invariably prefaced with "well, it's a combination of several different factors".

[Kevin Rollason @KevinRollason]

A lot of Winnipeg gardeners have planted the life’s work of Louis Lenz. He was a professor for 31 years in the University of Manitoba’s landscape horticulture section and he developed Pink Beauty and Mango Tango Potentilla bushes #RIP @WinnipegNews https://t.co/H2LbCnCu4w

It poured rain on our wedding day and we've been happily married for decades. My mother told me not to worry as rain on your wedding day is good luck. It rained on my parents' wedding day and their marriage lasted 60 years, until my father's death.
