A lovely plant. I discovered it this summer alone at a rest area in hot 110F desert just happy growing in the sand. I'll have to post. Been saving my summer pictures for the first s***. Happened today.

The slugs in your garden Grindle need a good talking to, you have far too many there :-(

i love these but so do those dratted molluscs.

Strangely, I don't get the dratted snails in the back garden - they lurk in the front!

Thanks Gt for not mentioning the 'S' word - but oh dear, is it that time for you already? :-(( I've planted this in the warmest place - I hope it likes it there!

Sadly it is. Well overdue so I feel spoiled. Been getting whiter for a few days now. We enjoyed extended fall well later than I've ever seen it. Of course the house just started blooming! Like the southern hemisphere in here. :-)
