Patsy, we seem to be having a lot of rain but I have just dug over a small patch of ground and it is really dry. Sigrun, I like the holly, it shows up well in winter, being evergreen, I have three or four in the hedge, one Golden King and two Silver Queen, one plain one with no name as it was a seedling.
I love the pictures with raindrops, don't you? These are gorgeous. You always make me get out my plant encyclopedia to check out new plants (new to me). I like that :) The lobelia is lovely. They all are!
Kerri, thanks, I have plant books lying about ready to read, I 'm not very good at remembering names so often look things up. its raining again here so plenty of oportunitys!!
