Diane,

Thank you for the lovely introduction and photographs.  You gave me some sort of idea of what to expect when visiting at the end of this March.  I cann't wait...

Alberto hasn't said - not to me anyway - but I would think his name is pronounced as CastEEyo. Yes?

Lovely kitty kat Vilma. :D

It was in response to Diane's Reply#4 and Maggi's Reply #10 on page 1 of this thread Mark. But admittedly things get a bit out of context when the response comes a few days later. :D

Thankee, Lesley, I wish it was mine...  ::) On second thought, I guess, I will eventually have to dig for the presentable photo of myself. 

Regarding Ashwood post orders - I am very satisfied customer.  Quick delivery (1st class mail), healthy looking plants (in my case, bare root hepatica plugs with leaves and flowers) and best of all, Ashwood seem to be rather generous as some specimen have 2 to 3 strong buds!  Heaven, I'm in heaven!... ::) ::) ::)

I wish I wish I wish...  ::) ::) ::)  Who said it was a 'he'? ;) 



Lets not kill the tread... Ashwood on my mind.  I wonder how hard is it to get behind the scenes and have a wee peak at their greenhouses.  I was told that you simply need to ask a member of staff to show you around? Is that as easy as it sounds... even on the busy weekends?  Or one is luckier if one visits during the middle of the week?

Thank you :)
