Stunning pictures Steve! Is roseoviolaceus a good grower to you?

Maggi, of which species is 'Midas Touch' a selection? I like it very much!

[Maggi Young]

'Midas Touch' is a sieberi selection, made by Alan Edwards, I think. Lovely, isn't it?

Crikey, Tony, this won't be easy - the girl reading the news has a ghastly squeaky voice and the presenter sounds half-witted ........ mind you, at least Radio Cambridgeshire still has a gardening programme, which is more than Radio Scotland does!

I liked the presenter .... a real character, very relaxed and made it easy for me.

It was much better just to whizz to "your bit" Tony!  That was fun.

Many thanks Ruben!
Sadly I haven't had roseoviolaceus long enough to tell how easy/hard it is, but so far so good.
