My deepest apologies Cliff. Saw the word puzzle and probably didn't read or absorb the rest.  :-[ :-[ :-[Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. With a smiley for smacked fingers, if Maggi can find one.

Would you like to try a small plant of Ran. verticillatus? The whole plant I mean, not the semi version. :D

But don't you think that that one is SEMIverticillatus Cliff? The one you'll receive (if it arrives with my small plant order) will be the NZer verticillatus and yellow.

My apologies,Lesley ... I was only teasing you, but it isn't easy to convey in a text message!

If you Google Ranunculus verticillatus, then the very first item refers to R. semiverticillatus being renamed as R. verticillatus - see below (quote):-

Cover Picture : Ranunculus verticillatus. Cerro La Hoja, Patagonia .... was Ranunculus semiverticillatus found at. La Hoya in both pink (cover picture).

I would ADORE the N.Z. plant if it proved possible please, but only if I can pay for it and post and packing please?

We were at the old Four Seasons Nursery at Forncett on Saturday for a Hardy Plant Society Social.  I was amused by this which I am sure will be an easy puzzle for you :D

Of course you are right Armin, grapes escaping through the wall of the tunnel.  They did look funny.

Brian,
I'm a bit surprised to see grapes growing so far north.
Since when are the grapes grown in your region?
How does the wine taste?
