what would you have to have in it? OK so I'm cheating by asking you all but if you saw the list of my wants/like you'd understand my problem.

SO Numptie note (easy to grow, likes acid conditions etc) would help. I think this would be an excellent use of my shed "wall" so it will be open sided on 3 sides and a roof over the top if that helps.

Right then, where's me list ...

Why thank-you Maggi for your PM, that was certainly a succinct précis! I would quote you but there might be under-age galanthophiles lurking. ;)

Post by: Lesley Cox on February 13, 2011, 08:19:10 PM: That's true Brian. I got carried away with the KentGardener's blog and it's super garden and people pictures and just went on from there. John's story and the accompanying illustrations made the genus so much more exciting than simply the long catalogues of names and barely distinguishable pictures. ::)
