I did a lot of research on the web. (What did we do before the internet?)

We used books - and experience.

Yes, but.

I opened my garden to the public this weekend and had over 200 people come
round, and I think they enjoyed it, especiallly my two ponds and frogs.

Several people enquired about one particular plant I had, and I confidently
said that it was a Lysimachia. But then I had doubts.
So I went and looked in my many books (but you can't do that quickly) and
didn't find it.

So I Googled: sage-like leaves, whorls of flowers, and disovered that it
was Phlomis russeliana, which I grew from seed when I belonged to the Seed
Guild (bless their hearts).

My books are very good but Google is my faster friend.
