Many thanks to everyone that has messaged and posted overnight to offer me a 'Percy Picton' - you are all very kind.

But I do already have a nice clump of them growing here - it is a bit of a running joke with Brian.  A couple of years ago I kept saying "Brian, 'Percy Picton' looks a nice one - I think I might buy one" - and Brian kept saying "You have already got it..... twice!"  

I do have a brain like a sieve sometimes!

Sorry about the confusion folks, John very nearly had the National Collection of G.'Percy Picton' he had so many

Finally my trymnot (small case and formerly trymimpostor) is driving me mad. It seems as it offsets it is changing markings and the stance of its outers. I am tempted to call it Tramp.  Most likely the offsets will settle down but that would certainly make for a messy clump.

Success!
I've added it now  in the other thread for you, Emma, and removed our missing pic messages

Thank you Maggi, was beginning to think it wanted to stay hidden and on the lost list

I am tempted to call it Tramp.       

That seems most apt John

Love it.  Good name.

Brian or John

'And seedlings of it  that I grow ...should I reserve Tramplet or perhaps Strumpet.
