The extra bit is to become a shed at the end of their garden and its planned to keep the plants on top, I have asked if they didn't want them ; )

in that case maybe it was errr arrrrr....forgot the name... just learned the common name yesterday - Rose of Sharon?
Oh, yes - Hypericum.
Can easily convert 2" to cm - about 5 cm, but 12"??? just wait.
