Why have you deliberately called me by this name?

Because of the astonishing speed in which you disgorge your copious
verbal bile. La Puce it may have been, but while you continue such
obnoxious outpourings, 'Puke' it will remain. Got it?

I have posted this
link not to 'twist' but to show Sacha's inconsistencies, indeed. She
had said in February that Olivier couldn't identified the rosemary.
She also said she had approached many local nurseries, including
Burncoose, and now said that Olivier can't identify it again, two days
ago, including other local nurseries.

So what's your problem and what's your point? She said it wasn't
identified then and it still has not been identified. So?
There are countless variants of all manner of plants out there that
remain unidentified for years and it's no surprise to me that even
Olivier hasn't put a handle on this one yet. There's absolutely no
inconsistency whatsoever.

I posted again on the subject because I had found the photograph I linked to
here. I am as sure as I can be that I didn't post it before because I had a
computer glitch and a lot of my photos went AWOL. Having now found out how
to regain them, I thought seeing a pic of the rosemary in situ might help in
identifying it. Obviously, nobody, including Filippi knows what it is.
Last time this subject came up someone gave the name of a rosemary expert on
here and I have sent him that photo, too. We'll see if he can throw any
light on the subject.

Are the owners of the property still not in after 9 months?!

Maybe not. Like most of us, Sacha does not stalk other people's
property and it's easily possible that the owners weren't there on the
occasions she went. Salcombe has more than its fair share of absent
occupiers in any case, which is why house prices there are so high.
You may have no qualms about banging on the doors of complete
strangers, but some of us are a bit more reserved in that respect.

The people who own the house are friends and customers of ours and are
indeed, as you so rightly say, David, away for long periods. They're in
South Africa for nearly half the year. That photo was taken last winter and
they were not there, though we had their permission to go over and take
cuttings. They don't know the name of the rosemary, either because if they
did, obviously I would have said so by now!!
In fact, both amusingly and ironically, it is they who took us to lunch at
the place with the mystery ivy. Obviously their mission in life is to
torment us. ;-)
