Ah, I  must be asleep here this morning. Certainly not able to do much as we are unable to get out at all - gales and torrential rain and our road is flooded so we couldn't get out to do our grocery shopping.

No wonder you came to Scotland for good food, Luit!   

Do you have custard on them?

Scottish food with custard, smart cookies and chocolate chips. No wonder that I love this Forum  ;D ;D ;D

I surprise myself sometimes!  I have a superficial knowledge of a wide range of plants.  I've been studying plant and seed catalogues since my teens.  There is a wide selection of hardy plants in the Cruickshank Garden and there used to be quite a variety in the greenhouses.  I tried growing lots of plants from seed so I often know I have seen a plant at some time but remembering the name is a different matter.  It took a while to track down the latin name of the bladder nut but found it eventually in The Hillier Colour Dictionary of Shrubs and Trees (1981).

Quite apart from the puzzle itself, what a beautiful plateful it is. A lovely table decoration for the end of the year.

Ding!
Well done. R. humeana with a dirty brownish purple flower.
I dug it out of the garden yesterday because every year its flowering time happens when we get a period of sunny weather. The flowers only last a day or two. It took me a couple of hours to seperate out 10 plants. I did break off and crack a few fingers.

Nearly mine too because I was using a nail to try and move fingers apart. What are the fingers called anyway?

You might have broken a nail, Mark, that can ruin the look of the fingers........... ::)
