    Love it, roders, mine blooms in the winter and I gather it up to have dried bouquets in pots here and there. It goes about a metre squared with me.

    The French lavender grows wild here but I have no luck with it. Trying it again, however, as my friend gave me a clump.

    I use lavender oil on my furniture because I like it so much. [​IMG]

    I just love your rockery Kathy, it's so colourful and varied, and I would like some of those stones and bit of driftwood too.

    Your plants look great Kathy.
    The driftwood adds to the effect well.
    But that orange flowered plant looks more like a Gazania to me, rather than an osteospermum.
