        :biggrin: I will resist.

        Sometimes you have to ignore monikers. I hesitated over a grass called Heavy Metal and it turned out to be the most delightfully airy thing. No idea why it got lumbered with such a silly name. :scratch:

        I can never believe that I actually brought it with me from my last garden (I hadn't planted it there). I thought it would make a nice, well behaved clump in a corner. How wrong was I. Even in the coldest, darkest Winter the berries remain untouched by the birds.
