........ 'Lawn weed'

[Ragged Robin]

Or 'ReMARKable.'

Yes, Lesley, I really like that one   

Anything with Mark in it hits the mark

I like Ranunculus ficaria 'Lawn Weed'

[Lesley Cox]

How perverse of you Mark. It might get back to bite you and BECOME a lawn weed. Though I was saying to Roger jsut yesterday what a fine display of buttercups we had in own lawn at present, Ranunculus acraeus. It was intended as a reminder that we need a man in, with a sythe. No, not THAT man, not yet, but someone to take down the long grass to a level where it can be mowed again.

I forgot to add R. f. 'Lawn Weed' not!

I'm so sad you didn't like my suggestion Mark.....  But impressed your eyesight is good enough to read that tiny script!! Couldn't help teasing about the bttercup.... I tend to be less enthusiatic about these than I do about snowies, though, since I no longer have a lawn, it shouldn't trouble me that much!

So you dont want one Maggi?

 Kind offer....... let me consider it carefully.......... nah!
Now, that wee Geranium you gave me.... I can never remember its name ( quite deep pink veined flowers, good bronzey foliage??) now THAT was a lovely gift... it's flowering even now. 

[mark smyth]

That's great Maggi - the Geranium. It's name is Tanya Randall

YES! thank you.... I don't know why I have such a block with the name of it     I'm thinking now I should have taken cuttings earlier.... bit late now.... must remember next year, I'd like to try it in other places in the garden. Just got it in one trough and a raised bed meantime.

A local nursery buys it in as plugs. I can ask her to keep a couple aside

Ach, no, Mark, no need for that.... I should have had my act in gear for the cuttings sooner.... also I never remembered to check if it was setting any seed!  Silly me!

[Paul T]

You could always call it "Marketable". 

[Lesley Cox]

Then he'd have to be selling it.
