    Very nice, Scotkat, the colour really enhances the colours of the Cyclamen. Don`t know about the pansy, though.:D

    Lithops? But you would need a drainage hole (it can be made, with care, and lots of patience).

    Thymus Serpyllum Albus (Creeping White Thyme)These are summer flowering, but I think would be brilliant as a jolly Cup of Tea...

    ANACYCLUS PYRETHRUM DEPRESSUS The Mount Atlas Daisy, as this is otherwise known, is a most desirable plant for the rock garden, raised bed, or alpine house, and requires a sharply drained soil and a sunny, sheltered site. It is the most garden-worthy of the perennial species, flowering in summer, and most attractive in crimson bud, which will be seen in dull weather and when the light is poor..

    :wink: I expect you have it all sorted out though Scotkat, just thought I would share these with you..!!:dh::D

    Scotkat that is so lovely! Where did you get it from?

    Don't know how you'll achieve the 'latte' look - but then when do I know anything:) but will be very interested if you do get it. You have lots of unusual stuff don't you? Looks good to me. 'clap'

    cheers
