    Thank you, Kathy3. By the way, love the pic of your house from the sea. [​IMG]

    Cutie, I don't think my Cannas will last much longer ... we'll see, perhaps into December. My Lucifer was a complete nightmare, no red on it! :eek: No, fortunately I don't have the "soggy and droopy" problem! (Here we go again ... :D ).

    After failing to get some cuttings to root(from Ventnor Botanic gardens) many years ago and failed seeds, I gave up on them. Well done Pete. [​IMG]

    Gosh, strongy, had we known each other then ... I could walk to VBG ... a long walk because I lived in Bonchurch.

    Several of my plants here are from there. Lovely place and I have a friend who works there. [​IMG]
