    Many years ago now my cousin in San francisco gave me some seeds of this plant, I grew it for years, you can dig the roots up and store them overwinter, a bit like dahlias, you get a bigger plant in year two.:smile:

        I like the plant but kinda question the use of one that shows off when I'm not looking!

        and I have nothing else to moan about. They had butter on offer and I've got enough to last me two bigger trouser sizes :)

          Well it's 01.28 here on 26.7.19 The news and weather forcast said that the heatwave was ending. All day long (yesterday) I spent most of theday in my sitting room, or should that be, sauna. Two portable a/c's blasting away and me filling up like a tanker of cold water. I have kept ceiling fans and ordinary fans going all day. There were a couple of claps of thunder and the odd flash of lightning this afternoon, but no rain. Now I am sat here at the pc melting in a temp of 94F.

          I imagine myself as that medical room skeleton. Roll on winter, at least I can wrap up. Now I am down to my bare bones.

                            Hi,

                            Every circus has a clown.

                            Kind regards, Colin.
