        Very pretty labour too Joolze - great pics as well!

        Maybe we should have an 'old crocks' thread.

                        Love that colour of the Polemonium - pretty handy having a charity table that has good finds like these plants!

                        She's a proper plant woman GA! Has some real rarities, so I make the detour once a week or so.

                          I don't think we need a 'Crocks' thread Annie, I don't think I've come across anyone on GC yet that's completely healthy! :heehee:

                          I thought it was possible to replace a collar bone? :scratch: They've got no spare parts for me, so I've got no chance. :doh:
