    that little cygnet doesn't look all that wild to me, Pete! Quite content, really! (BTW - your sarcococca seedling is growing at last - so in a month or two it might actually be ready to go...... - but don't hold your breath!)

    Just to prove it is wild, I saw the two swans today, and no cygnet, that was the last one they had left and it looks like that ones gone now as well. :(
    I'll be waiting for the seedling. ;)

    Two excellent photos, Juliet. Good to see some humour among the entries.

    Strongylodon has been putting up loads of pics of Callistemon - bottle-brush plants, and this week's Amateur Gardening has free seeds of these. All clear?? As mud?? It didn't bear repeating or explaining, really! :rolleyes: :D

    I like your wild character, Strongy - and I've been waiting to use that line, but couldn't find anything to fit it! I was watching all the animals at the farm on a visit yesterday, hoping for one to fit "He's getting wilder by the minute!" - but no luck!
