 my computer do auto correction all the time. If some phrases are not familiar it replaces with the familiar one. Draba  became drama . I should have previewed it. My mistake.

Hi Kris, I didn't intend to criticise you in any way, my computer also has auto-correct and gets me into all sorts of trouble … I was simply making a (hopefully) humorous pun about the old saying; "Don't make a drama out of a crisis".

Uhuh, OF COURSE it is the "auto-correct" that gets you into all sorts of trouble  :P

The crevice garden is starting to look very colorful.  Flowering about 3 weeks ahead for most plants, the result of the truly weird up and down temperatures, snowless winter the garden has had to endure.  Many older treasures succumbed, unfortunately.

The crevice garden is heady right now with the scent of daphnes, which are blooming well ahead of schedule, along with everything else.  Photo#3 is of daphnes that sulked for a few years and now are adjusted and bloom like crazy.  Planted 10 years ago and labels lost during their long period of sulking.
