Look up the websites in my post to Stephen, he has misled you.


Which one, the one on the increased salinity of Australia's arid regions

No, that was in a post to Paghat, showing her that she was wrong in
saying ocean rain does not contain salt. Look up the websites in my post
replying to you.

or the picture of Brodick Castle with no rhododendrons or
azaleas in it.


Yes there are. You said

I spent most of the month of May visiting Scotland's famous rhododendron
and azalea gardens and none grew rhododendrons nor azaleas near the open
sea or near the beaches. The rhododendron and azalea gardens I visited
we


Brodick Castle & Gardens, Isle of Arran (on an island on the Firth of
Clyde, but it is situated high not near the sea)

Now, the picture clearly shows that Brodick Castle's garden IS near
the sea, and is not "high". Those are contrary to your claims. Now, you
say the picture "does not show rhododendrons or azaleas in it". But you
agree above, it is a famous rhododendron garden and you visited it to
see them.

How strange, that you don't know Brodick Castle's most famous rhodo
area is the section at the bottom of the garden adjoining the coast
road, and that the dense greenery lining the road, clearly visible in
the picture, right beside the sea, is a wide variety of rhododdendrons.


The other websites I mentioned, give the true locations and elevations
and descriptions of the other gardens you wrongly described as "high
up", "not near the sea" or not "growing rhododendrons and azaleas near
the sea".

Just because you can raise rhododendrons and azaleas and own some swamp
land doesn't mean that they thrive in swamp land.


? I don't own any swamp land or claim rhododendrons and azaleas
thrive in swamps.

Let's use some logic
here.


Okay. Why is it, that you make so many glaring errors of fact ,
description AND location about gardens you claim to have visited very
recently?
