Picea, the Blue Spruce


Hi, Sacha. Thanks for helping.

Well, I've had a good look at the Picea in Google images and it's be a
contender size-wise and colour-wise. Tomorrow, if you don't mind, I'll
try to post a close-up of the buds. They're different from the Picea's,
but maybe they look as they do because of the neglect. The bush seems
to be "designed" to put out hundreds of little circular tufts of
needles, rather than short arms.

By the way, Sacha, and Kay, sorry for posting twice but my first message
did not immediately upload, as normal. Instead some guy called Martin
seemed to be succeeding in posting filth. Maybe he had hijacked the
system somehow.

Eddy.
