Latin

Found my book, it is called Gardeners Latin by Bill Neale, very pretty picture on the front. It's got an inscription inside 'to Mary from Heather 1997'. I wonder who they were and if Mary enjoyed the book as much as I do! It's described as a lexicon.

Morning all, agree about SCD marking and odd hairstyle, must be the fashion! Nice to see VP doing better.

Mmm, apple cake, do you put flaked almonds on top? Tasty, tasty, very very tasty!

Must get the wallflowers in today.

What's the weather like in your area?

Morning all, a beautify day in Rossendale, although a few clouds coming over now.

Frank, ham is my favourite, I cook it in apple juice, probably told you that before though.
ChrIs, the 3 day week! I studied for exams by candle light and had to get up early on a Sunday morning as it was easier than studying at night. Nightmare for a teenager!

Climbing Ivy

Dfb, I love ivy in flower, I pass some on my walk to work from the car park and the flowers are in bud now. Last year scent was wonderful and the plants were full of bees. They need all the help they can get later in the year, especially this year.

Wallflowers

Jo, I think they would look lovely with tulips, but then again a pot full of tulips on their own looks great too. Do you ever get over to Harlow Carr, their tulips are stunning. We often go over to Llandudno and they sometimes have beds full of wallflowers along the promenade, beautiful.

FG, sow seeds in early summer. What a wonderful place to live, used to go to Forest of Dean for family picnics as a child.

Just found a guide on Dave's Garden where you can check what the Latin descriptions mean, won't help you remember the full name, but at least you will know what the description means. davesgarden.com/guide/botanaria

I have a nice book that is called something like Latin for plant lovers, I found it in a charity shop. It tells you what words like glauca mean. I'll check out the name for you, I use it a lot.

Lovely day, managed to get up to 10, quite nice in the sunshine. I was expecting rain today, so it was a nice surprise.
