Is this the one with the pink flowers and watery stems? I had one till a few weeks ago and got fed up with picking up the flowers where they fell! If you have no luck anywhere Tigerbarb......my sister has the parent plant and I could root a cutting for you.

Janey you have described perfectly the plant I was thinking about when I mentioned it in my blog! I was curious as to whether the plant still existed as I haven't seen a single plant of it in the 8 years I've been back in the UK.
As I mentioned in my blog I grew them for many years & always had dozens of plants! But when I first went to Spain, back in the 70s, I obviously didn't take any with me. I could never imagine they might "disappear"! They were as common as Daisies back then.
I now grow the modern, compact forms, as you may have seen as I uploaded some photos of them flowering on my balcony.
Just a week ago I planted some plugs I got from a supermarket.:)

Hi Tigerbarb,
I have a plant that is definitely 30 years old as I originally got it in Manchester in 1979, gave it to my mum as a mother's day present. She kept it going all these years and when she passed away in 2005 I took the plant over - I have still got it and am happy to give anyone cuttings from it.
It is a strong grower!

Hi, Greengirl, I would like to echo Tigerbarb's request & ask you to send me a cutting as well! I'd like to try it again after so many years. Like Bert. I'd reimburse you your costs.
