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!"   :D

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 ;D :D ;D

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.
