Found in a Grecian Urn.
« on: May 15, 2009, 10:04:25 AM »
This plant has grown in almost pure sand for the last three or four years and has now produced an abundance of flowers.
Trouble is, the label is submerged somewhere underneath and totally 'unfindable'.
Is it an Erodium?
Help please.

I think it's a Gypsophila, John but I'm struggling to remember the rest?

I doubt that Leslie.
I am trying my best to retire but for the last three years all my son (and co-director) will say is "Dream on Dad!" ???
