              This is a tri-coloured shrub

                      Had it for about 15 years and it does well every year - sadly this may be it's last year. My neighbour took his hedge up between him and me and said if I supplied the plants he would take over the care of the strip. He now says that he is going to take them up as he wants to plant a lavender hedge so I will loose the tri-coloured and the blue shrub.

                              Roders, the begonia petals go well in a salad :)

                              Bilbo, the Phytolacca is looking good :blue thumb:. Ours died but Kristen has given us some spares :hapydancsmil:. Next year will look good.
