    It's absolutely cuddly and fluffy and gorgeous .....

    I could try for the hardiness here as I'm into grasses at the moment .... by the way, that's not a hint .... that's an outright request if there is any seed going .... :wink:

    We saw some very similar in Italy growing along the roadside I fell for it then. Such a touchy feely plant and has great movement when there is a bit of a breeze. Just got my new seed catalogues so will have to give them a gander and see if they sell it. Cheers Roders.:okies: 02
