    It would be a pleasure. I hope they aren't in too manky a state having been lurking in pots for 2 or 3 year. In fact if they are serviceable I'll bring the lot and you can plant them, or flog them, whichever suits you. They aren't, realistically, going to be used here.

    Know what you mean ARMANDII,nothing lifts the spirits more than seeing seeds germinate :hapydancsmil:.
    I got the seed for the yellow one from a swapshop and a friend sent me seed for 'Korean Beauty', flippin typical I had loads of seed heads on 'Radar Love' till I chopped it back a couple of months ago, as Kristen says they grow like triffids(definitely much easier than banana) I'll save you some seed from them later in the year if you like :blue thumb:.

    Thanks very much :dbgrtmb:. A bit of TLC from Mrs Shiney will soon sort them out. As ARMANDII should also be here he may want one or two as well :).

      With such glorious weather I decided to put the trowel down and and take some time to have another slow amble around the garden with a glass of red wine, sit down every now and then to get a different visual idea of what's going on. So grab a glass of something and have a wander around.:snork:

          Oooooh Armandii. I feel quite heady too. (Lilac Wine/Elkie Brooks). A wonderful stroll round but as it's getting dusk now, I seem to have lost my way to the Arbour. Where did you say it was?(hic).

            You definitely can't see 'the wood for the trees' Armandii. A very busy garden but stunning. :dbgrtmb:

            Hi Joolz, well it was originally a Grapevine growing there. But the last few harsh Winters saw it off, so behind the pots to the rear is a young Wisteria Alba which, hopefully, will grow along there.:snork:

              The "big lettuce leaf" near the jugs by the pond, Joolz, is a Lysichiton [American Skunk Cabbage] which gives bright yellow Spathes out during the Spring. I bought it in the 90'S and it's a good marginal plant taking a lot of nutrient out of the water.

              I'll have to check the Salvia seedlings, Joolz, as I've only been in the Green House to do a general check and water them since being back off the Hols as getting things back under control has come first:snork:
