    Thanks Simbad - there is nothing like hearing from someone who knows. I hadn't realised they were affected by any diseases or pests. I have never seen any damage on mine. I wish I could say that for the other things that I grow. :)

              You've just got to get that camera sorted Spruce, my Lady Betty is one of the only one without scapes too :cry3:, would like some of those really expensive ones on ebay:rolleyespink: but think I've spent enough this year, do like 'Bali Watercolour' might have a bid:heehee::heehee:.

                Spruce, I completely forgot the daylilies ended yesterday:mad: and didn't bid on any, in the garden cutting back a russian vine that(thank god) died over the winter,whatever was I thinking planting one of them:what:,anyway got it all out and planted some clematis instead much nicer:dbgrtmb:
                Yes you have to know when to stop on ebay don't you:heehee::heehee:, I always look at the price on Pollies etc and won't go above that, think a lot of them yesterday were pretty special:love30:, wonder if it was someone from abroad bidding?
                Thought 'Free Wheelin' (the one on my avatar) was going to open today but not yet maybe tomorrow.
                Yes stick with us DUBMAN we'll have you addicted in no time:heehee::heehee::heehee:
