Most everybody here knows Tamlin Dawnstar.
Tamlin Dawnstar is a name....the person behind that name is William Dawnstar.
I think there are many, many people here in this CP community (as well as others) who have been touched in a positive way by this kind gentleman. And I'm talking about more than "He gave me a plant." There is more to William than just a man who gives away plants, seeds and gemmae...and I think many here know this about him.
Since William's heart is nearly frozen solid from days and days of non-stop hourly snow shoveling, I thought a way to unthaw and warm up his heart would be to share some your thoughts about him. It can be anything...something that made you laugh, a kind deed or encouraging word, a cultivation tip, a suggestion for a tasty beer, a funny story, something he taught you. Anything that touched your life or changed a view point or taught you something about living or growing.
I say it isn't how you see yourself...but how OTHERS see you that truly counts. We are sometimes blind to our own greatness! I believe Mr. Dawnstar is well thought of in the CP community not only for his plant generousity but other character traits as well. Lets show him what you think and get that heart thawed out!

I have found William to be funny, intelligent, loving, kind and generous, talented in many areas including music and poetry...and sometimes a rascal. He makes me laugh.
I enjoy reading all his posts especially the scientific dialogue with expert growers. Always something meaty to learn there. He is loyal to his friends and concerned about the aspects of their lives. He is honest...a rare trait to find. He is inspiring and dedicated to the world of carnivorous plants. He works hard "behind the scenes"...more than you know. He is a very special person and deserves much love.
One of my most well remembered conversations...we were talking on line. All of sudden he starts talking in fluent French! I am surprised! I didn't know he spoke another language. I thought "wow"! Then, to my amazement, he starts talking in fluent Italian! I am thinking "Ohmigod...he knows TWO foreign languages!" And then I'm truly floored when he begins to speak fluent German!
I am feeling totally humbled and stupid...this man is brilliant! A genius! He knows THREE languages to perfection! I'm totally awed! But theeeen....after letting me flip out for a while, he finally 'fesses up. He was using an online translator to translate his sentences!!
LOL! I was DUPED! I was believing it hook, line and sinker! Ok...I was gullible but STILL! Even though the joke was on me, I had to laugh and still laugh about it to this day. He pulled it off well! That's the "rascal" element that comes out sometimes.
Ok...any one else who has been touched in some way have a thought to share about the person, William Dawnstar?
