    What's your weather like 2026

    A cold is nothing to do with the weather, its a virus, fresh air often helps clear it IMO.

    I always make sure I have cash ( notes and coins ) to hand - it's the best way for the local egg and veg. places which only use "honesty boxes". How does one define "legal" beggars as opposed to "illegal" ones ? Donating to registered local charities is the safest way I find- usually at least.

    You're welcome. It's a good plant to have a go with as the success rate is high. Maybe 80% of cuttings will take and grow on happily.

    What should I try and get for them?

    My local garden centre ALWAYS has them at 50% of RRP. One might almost suspect it's a con!

    Could anyone identify this plant please?

    Thank you everyone. That seems to be unanimous! Looks an attractive flower and plant so I'll leave it alone.
