Parasol anyone?

I've heard it called Shooting Star ...

--▲=

oh thats a nice name, thanks hywel, i can remember those more easily!!

how did you do that symbol stevie?

yes as Hywel says shooting star, i had the red wing one... not any more ... lovely one Sticki..

thanks surreylad ~ are they a bit delicate??

no they are pretty good, like part shade the best though...

ideal for my garden then!! thank you.

--▲= xxPrettyxx --▲=

was actually listening to dark side of the moon when i clicked on this : )

oh pix you can do them too!!!!

Stunning!

do you think these might grow on the dark side??? :-)

i liked them too, thanks janey

I bought this too Sticki from Harlow Carr the week before last, planted it in my part shady woodland border :-)

Parasol for a dwarf Sticki?

harlow carr is lovely isnt it simbad, most of my garden is quite shady!!

i like that kasy!! or maybe an elf???

oh, not an ELF!!!!! - reminds me of winter, Christmas - and you know Sticki what they do in garden Centres? People workin there have to dress as Santa Clause, some (read Kasia) as an Elves. Don't want to think about it yet, lol.

kasy you wont believe this but i have done that!!!! i know about dressing up cos we often had to do such things in school ~ as teachers!!!! but i would much rather be an elf than a fairy!!!!

well Sticki - but I had to be outside with the temperatures much below 0 degree C!!! In not so warm outfit, brrrr...

you will have to introduce a new policy ~ elves that wear very warm coats???!!!

and by the way ~ i would like to come to see that!!!!!

I think Sticki the best way would be to volunteer and tell us how it felt, lol.
BTW - I've heard there is a fire stove at winter at my work, lol.

believe me ~ i have already done that job!!!!

the stove will help !!

Sticki - there is an old saying - never say 'never', lol.

Ive just planted this one on my Rockery, Shooting Star is a very good name for this little gem;;0))

Yes I like that name too PP, hope yours grows well.

Lovely plant Sticki!

I can make a ▲ too!

I can also make a bottom shape..............Ѿ

☺☺☺

Well I could cut and paste those shapes too but how do youmske them? Including the smiley?
Do I need a bottom shape?

"Well I could cut and paste those shapes too but how do youmske them? Including the smiley?"

Go to control panel and type "Character map" into the search panel. Lots to play with in there!!

"Do I need a bottom shape?"
Dunno - I was just showing off!!

oh thank you ~ i like to play!!!!

:-(

♥☺♥

Did you use the search companion..look through the whole computer! ☼

ok, thanks pixi ~ i may be gone for a little while!!!

lol it only takes a minute! :))))

Oh Sticki - dressing up for the children brought back some uncomfortable memories!!!! Jeans on mufti day was best for me!! Love the plant, haven't seen it before. It would go nicely down in my wild area. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

another escapee then karen?? P5 = year 5 [age 9-10 ??]

karen, try control panel or the search option ~ you find that in the options; bottom left icon on my computer then put character map into the search.

which did you like best ~ nursery or older ones?

Lol! French computer - had to ask it the right question - in French!!!

Yes, 8 to 12 year olds. Liked both, Sticki...different challenges. I would have preferred to be able to move around more on a regular basis but, at the school I worked in we all got a bit 'stereotyped'...

ah fabulous!!! i like that 2 legged octopus ~ 4th along!!!

♦ LOL ♦

I was trying all the diiferent ones but ariel is the one that works :( ☺

MS Gothic has more symbols

hmm dont seem to have that one on here.

click on the down arrow alongside where it says ariel??? i would be surprised if you havent got it??

Well ma on the comp jsut now..might have it on the laptop

am lol

wingdings has loads - but they don't paste as the same on my computer...

ah so thats what wingdings are for

They just come up as things like... é, à and the like for me, Sticki...

i tried it ~ they dont work for me either

& ~ that is supposed to be a book!!!!

...what do you mean, Sticki?

I liked wingdings because it had symbols for all my excuses for being away...

a cocktail glass, a plate with fork and knife and a bed!!!

Now that sounds excellent, Karen!!!

Sorry to be boring and get back to the plant here but just to say that I put a couple of these in shady spots last year and they were briliant, flowered for ages and so pretty. Just coming into flower again this year. Hope you enjoy them.

Quite right, Tuesdaybear (love the name!) Let us remember why we are here!! They remind me of the small cyclamen that flower so beautifully in late summer/early autumn - Hederifolium, I think. I am definitely going to keep on the watch for these.

!!!☺☺☺ !!!

I'm with you, Melchise... ;))))

sorry, i was trying out wingdings karen, and what should have been a book comes out on here as &

thats great news tuesdaybear ~ thank you for that.

i think they look a bit like cyclamen too melchi

well...if the cocktail glass, and the fork and knife with plate, and the bed symbols had worked...I would have put them now!!!!

Night, night all! :))
