'The popularity of zinnias grows with each successive season." So said the great Roy Hay, founder of Britain in Bloom and instigator of the National Gardens Scheme, back in 1937. What happened?

Mickey Mouse said, "Arithmetic is being able to count up to 20 without taking off your shoes."
Few pairs outside North America use a weak two-diamond opening. The so-called Multi enjoys widespread popularity. Then, two diamonds indicates a weak two-bid in either major. This makes life tougher for the opponents because initially they do not know the opener's suit, and it frees the two-of-a-major openings for alternative meanings.

When it comes to Inner Mongolia, we usually think of expansive grassland, where cattle and sheep graze beside a meadow.
