                Hi Sheal,..i agree with you there,..i have one rose bush where the petals are so compacted that when it rains the petals get stuck together and never get the chance to open.

                            Thank you Upsydaisy,..oh Foxy Molly probably told you i really am being careful and not overdoing things,..having my own doctor,.. then another when she is away,..plus the preview doctor,..all three seem to be trying to best the other as a result mistakes are made,..i was at a preview last week and lo and behold i was given a prescription when there was no need as the meds i was on were working very well,..for the reflux,..anyway two days later it hit me and i decided to call the paramedics,..my neighbour was getting my stuff ready and spotted that i was prescribed half the usual dose of meds,..no wonder i was going through the roof,..reminds me of that saying,..doctors differ patients die,..anyway cancelled the trip to A&E and took a double dose of meds 80 mg a day instead of that prescribed 40 mg a day,..by 0500 that morning all was well :hapfeet:

                              The colours in your garden are absolutely stunning at the moment Philip. :thumbsup:

                              I'm glad you're feeling better. We shouldn't have to keep an eye on every decision and prescription from our doctors, but it seems to be necessary these days. :frown:

                                The above link is re the Voodoo Lily,..'Sauromatum-venosum',..also named 'Typhonium',..there is always a debate on the name of this Lily?

                                One of mine has just flowered but has dropped its bloom,..the bloom only remains upright for a few days,..the bloom can be over 30 cm high,..i keep them for the foliage which is huge.
