I see you're not having any trouble getting flowers on your Asperula suberosa or Tropaeolum tricolor, then, Mike   :o ;)

I'm so pleased with it.  Took 12 months to germinate the seed, but its never looked back since.  Does much better in the ground than when I grew it in a pot though.

If I wanted to build a school at the end of the road using completely different buiding materials to any of the surrounding houses , and in a completely different style to the rest of the estate I'd get planning permission. If I wanted to alter the pitch of my garage roof........ nah!

Always a temptation, Christine. Though occasionally the planners get it right only for the councillors to mess it up...... :-X :P
