    I find it helps to remember the name if you sing it. Maybe check no one else within earshot though!

      Thank you, the more I think about it the more I agree that the eggs must have been in the pot, especially considering I couldn't find any lavae away from the planting hole.

      Ha ha ha, thanks for the tip @ButtercupDays :biggrin:

      Fingers crossed your plant will be fine @CostasK. :thumbsup:
      I find hylotelephium quite easy to say [and write], it's the new name for dicentra that I have a problem with!

        Oh wow, I just looked it up :biggrin: It sounds a bit Greek and my mother language is Greek, so I think I will be OK with that one, but it is weird... (lampro=bright, capnos=smoke)

          I find hylotelephium easy enough to say, it's remembering it when I want to say (or write) it that I seem to have a problem with!

            Yes, I can remember roughly what it is but not exactly.

            I think that rather than singing the name, which the world doesn't need to hear considering my..vocal abilities, I will think of it as a spell from Harry Potter.

            HYYLO-TELEPHIUM!
