LOL after the event as I was saying goodbye

Haha - there was a kind person with me when the DCO arrived, and my first reaction was to vanish, but I stayed and greeted her politely. ;-/

Hi, here I am! I have no life because I'm working full time at the moment.
This is a rare shrub bred at Ventnor Botanical Gardens, its full title is Cistus Argentus Ventnorensis Mr Stripey. I have 2 of them in my garden and I collect all the plants bred by the Botanics, they have a lovely white escallonia which they've recently been working on.
Glad you all like the stripey cictus, sorry I've been away, I've been so busy with work I've had to employ a gardener!!
14 Jun, 2010
Ooh! Thanks, Andrea - I'll edit the title and plant. I do indeed like it...:-)))
Fancy having to have a gardener...well, I hope you're enjoying your job!
