someone please stop me lusting for other people's plants - Eryngium

[mark smyth]

Does everyone lust as much as me for plants growing in other people's gardens? I think I have a serious disease

What's this Eryngium?

[Lori S.]

Eryngium giganteum?

Mark I bought that plant when I was in Ireland, can't remember the name nursery but I do remember it was in the south. The man was really nice. I think he was American. I went away with a lot of nice plants and lots of seeds for free.

My E. Maritimum is small but has lots of flowers on it. I think it's real cute even though it's prickly.

It's a condition many of us suffer from Mark. You just have to eat a large piece of chocolate each time the symptoms appear.

[mark smyth]

Do you realise how many bars of finest chocolate I would need a day!

Then stay home and read a book.

Had a wee girl at the door selling bars of Cadbury's chocolate today, which is a fund raising thing here.
