OH NO....BA THE GEUM EXPERT;-)

I think it may be a creeping cinquefoil or tormentil, but they seem to have 4 not 5 petals....I've just dug it out:-(

ah thats the one that keeps popping up in my garden!!

none popped up in mine yet

What is it Sticki? I'll send it to you Yorkie...pretend it's from one of your many admirers:-)

i can send you one too yorks!!

sorry i dont know, i will have a little look in my book, other than that im sure hywel will know he is very good on wild flowers.

Isn't it hot? bit muggy tonight:-)

there are a few clouds on the western horizon here!!

it was incredibly hot today but i went to Great Witley, it was lovely when they turned the fountain on ~ a few of the droplets got carried in the breeze and people were walking underneath to cool off!!

You should have had a paddle...anyway stop gallivanting all over the place...Where's Great Witley? :-)

Worcestershire ~ its not so far!!! go to Droitwich and turn right!!!

the house is a ruin [sadly] but they have restored the fountain which is amazing, there are woodland gardens, a lake and a baroque church. oh and of course a tea shop

I'll have a look later. OH and I took a taxi to local 'Country Gardens' garden centre on Thursday. n Hoped to find something nice to buy and they had a 2 for one offer on afternoon tea. Finger sandwiches, scone (clotted cream, butter, jam) and fancy cake each with pot of tea. Bought nothing and if I had made the scone, it would have gone in the bin...I ate it though. The little fancy cakes were Mr Kipling...didn't eat them. The sandwiches were nice. I took a pic of them to show you, then thought people would think me mad...ME! :-)

i havent seen the picture??? i dont see why people should know i am mad and not you!!!

did you tell them what you thought of their cream tea???

how very disappointing

No, they were very nice people...I did take the first scone back as it was doughy and uncooked inside. I only did that because the woman on the next table asked if mine was uncooked like hers and she took hers back...so I did too...brave! I didn't put the pic on , but if you want me to I will:-)

I will leave it up to you!

Being nice people helps but what a shame so many things were disappointing.

o.k. girls. if this is not a weed I will have some please to put in the rockery, have to dash, going to B&Q. xxx

its around 18" wide and a tiny flower, its either a weed or a wild flower, its not something i would choose for a rockery maybe but i will certainly send you one if you would like it.

Yorkie, I thought it was a geum...kept waiting for it to flower:-(

send me one please Sticki, if you don't mind, the rockery is huge so it will be nice to cover some of the shingle on there,

Yorkie...it's an ugly weed!:-)

i will send you one but like BA says its not that great, it wont cover the shingle really cos the stems are so far apart.

AND ITS UGLY!!!! :-)

if it really is a weed then I don't want it, anything you two got that is good for a rockery, that's what friends are for, I had a lovely bulb sent this morning by my third secret admirere, how do you spell that word,!!!

i will have a look round for you.

Oh thank you Sticki,

:-)

xxxxxxxxxx

erm...not much on alpines...I've got a variegated little sedum that spreads I believe. It's in a little pot at the moment. Don't know how to get it to you safely though?:-)

you could deliver it and have a cuppa,!!

No car:-(

there is a good train service!!!

Flippin eck Yorkie...to deliver a tiny plant!?:-)

and I thought you was my friend,

Have you got a bus pass Ba, we could visit by bus if you have a couple of days spare.

thats a good Idea Stroller

Let's go further...a coachload of Goyers....Yorkie won't mind...we can pitch our tents in her garden...she's a good cook, so food will be no problem...and I want to see Ralphs legs. What a generous Goyer our Yorkie is...I'm proud to call her friend. No men allowed though, you can't trust her. Who's game?:-)

a coachload of GOYERS won't bother me, just bring a glass everyone, that's a bit cheeky BA no men allowed, surely I am entitled to a bit of fun also, after all you'll be ogling my OH legs,

No Yorkie...you've had enough...you know it's bad for you:-)

it keeps me going though, Lol

hussy!:-)

you make my sides split with laughing, you are so funny
