Dear Tony: Our strata corporation and manager have advised owners that an electronic meeting is different, and we are required to submit a restricted proxy in advance of the meeting.

Dear Helen: Can you identify a tall, upright, single-stemmed plant that has appeared in my garden? It has spikes of large, silky, yellow flowers. S.W. The plant in your photo is common evening primrose (Oenothera biennis).

As anyone who has done it knows, it can be challenging downsizing from a house to a condo.
