I shall be expecting a letter from a certain M. Smyth in the next edition pointing out that the black petunia, the one that got 15th place in the Chelsea Plant of the Year vote, wasn't worth it's place.

You never know. Two plants have died and one is 10 inches 25cm high with only one flower

Surely any plant that only got a 15th place is worth that?
