    Taking ClaraLou's advice at face value I've loaded up various of the plants in my garden knowing that you will be able to educate me about what they are. I have to admit I've called this a quiz purely to gain attention as I have neither a prize to award nor an answer sheet to know if you are correct! But thank you for taking part anyway :)

    thanks
    Gavin.
