      Sorry James, couldn't bring myself to press the "like" button. More a coloured,pretty flower person myself.
      But good on you - each to his own,
      Er, not exactly a garden specimen is it?
      Ah well, back to the plan on your drawing board....

        No problem Tell the owners you want it landscaped :-)
        They would have to repair the roof if it leaked, so they can
        repair the garden too :)

        Your mystery plant looks like one of the Nepenthese James.

        I think they can at least chip in or reduce the rent a tad for the state of that!

        Oh, and for Zigs - 'Marines, we are leaving!'
