    Brilliant Ivory - yet another one that I have never heard of!

    They do say that there are only about 260,000 different species. I recon if I keep reading these threads I will be well on my way to that total. :D

    Same for me. I don't know ALL of these plants, sometimes it's a puzzle to solve. Some like crosswords, I like finding plant names, keeps the brain going, ;).
