    Beautiful garden Pal! You have so many beautiful plants and flowers, and have laid everything out so well - I love all the wee walkways into new areas of your garden. You have tons of love-in-a-mist. Do you let it seed itself, or plant it new every year? I bought some new seed,a as mine petered out, but have yet to notice any seedlings atall.

    Your montana cave is superb! If only I had the room... What a gorgeous rose - a really good find! Is it scented?

    O2, the shrub is Weigla Florida. Veregata.

    JarBax, the Love-in-a-mist seeds where ever it wants to..I just thin it out a little around other smaller plants. Shame,but the Rose has no scent. It's a cracking flower though!:)

    G-Corner member 'Fran' gave me this in person. It's filled out beautifully and I've even divided it for friends...Just wish I could remember it's name.

    Pal, just what e-mail were you reading. Johnson Blue indeed!!! The Geranium is Geranium Sibericum - one of my favourites, as it forms such a lovely clump, with its furry leaves. Glad its doing so well for you, and your garden is looking really lovely. I remember the mud disaster well - glad to see everything is recovering fine, and so much survived including the rescued roses :-).

    Thanks Marley, I'm fine - as is my garden :-)

    Will take me a while to get up to speed with the new software - but will try. BTW is including a photo the same as before, just copying in the IMG address from photobucket?

    Thanks both of you - will get up to speed shortly. I wondered what you were talking about Marley re the tool bar and envelope cos I found nothing of that description- then found I needed to increase the formating for it to appear. :D Got it I think.
