    Anne - there are just so many good sites out there. I often mark them in my favorites, but I have so many favorites, that I need some way of recording where they all are - and yes I do have a logical directory structure - well nearly.

    I really liked the appearance of this site one as well as the plants - http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/ixora.htm

    This site also had all sorts of plants that were new to me - http://www.panglobalplants.com/plant_nav/plant_code.php?show=Lespedeza+thunbergii&picture=shrubs2274

    I like the first link, Peter, and even though I have no luck with seeds, there are lots of interesting facts, so it is a very useful link. Thanks for it. x

    I know what you mean about adding things to Favourites,, I have the same problem. :hehe: Every now and then I go through mine and delete some.

    Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas, Yellow Bells) ... I believe Sis has a huge shrub/tree in her Florida garden but mine is only 130cm tall just this year finding its way through the rock base ...

    Victoria - your colours are brilliant. Whilst there is still some colour in the garden here - everything is getting very subdued. I think winter is coming. :D

    Thank you Peter ... it was actually overcast most of the day here with a 10% threat of rain ... and that's exactly what it was .... a threat ... :(

    We were 21c today and are 19c now so doors and windows still open but it felt humid to us as we are used to dry heat.

    Is that all Vicky, we have been sweltering in 14c today!:D

    I am trying to forget yesterdays severe gales, we had 80 mph winds Friday night for a while. A lot of my pots changed places.:( There is a little bit of colour still.:)
