    Whatever it is called it has finally decided to flower, but on top of the leaves and not on the bare soil as it usually does. There are seedlings everywhere, so suspect it needs all digging up and dividing - what doest anyone think about my odd little beast?

    Paladin- I will send you a bit if you want some. I have already potted two little uns up, but there are loads, not sure if they will survive.

    Where have you seen them for sale palustris, I can hardly find any info on them, only one with a wishy washy pale white flower.

    Damp shade, so they suit my garden. The leaves are very attractive too when flower dies, then they get big orange fruit, so a long period of interest with them.

    Hi Waco

    Feeling extremely cheeky here :D

    But if you have another spare one I would love one also [​IMG]

    Just to tell you the two plants that you sent to me earlier, the grass and the geranium are both doing really well.

    Stingo - no problem, of course I will send you one. I have to say though that they may need a little more TLC than the others.

    Pleased other stuff working well for you, I thought they would.

    You may have to remind me email of your address though to save me searching.

    I have been looking for a very good post some time ago about packing plants for postage,but I can't find it. It was soon after I joined, think it was one of the regular posters.
    The advice was something like this:
    wrap plant in damp kitchen roll or newspaper, put in polythene bag tied or rubber banded, and finally into a loo roll holder or similar. Would this work for these seedlings?
