Thank you! That is so kind of you. We come *fairly* close to you once
or
twice a year. I'll have a chat with the husband thingy and see if he
can
fit in a diversion. In the meantime, don't hang on to one specially
if
you
have other takers. I know what it's like to offer a plant .. feel the
obligation to hold one back .. then never see the object of that offer
again. If we can call on you, I'll phone first so we both know where
we
are.

I am grateful for your offer, whatever happens, and will contact you in
due
course.

Good to see you back, Spider. Assuming, of course, that you're the same
arachnid. ;-))

Very much the same Spider, thank you, Sacha. I crawled out from under a
stone recently and decided to inflict myself on you all again! I've been
enjoying the Weigela corraensis (sp?) you gave me, plus my purchases from
your nursery, including a Lythrum salicaria 'Gipsy Blood' currently in
flower. If only the rain would stop, I could watch the bees enjoying it.


Glad the Weigela is flourishing. I think that W. coraeensis might almost
be
my favourite plant - the different coloured flowers on the one plant are
so
lovely. Ours in the car park border must be about 8' to 10' tall and wide
now. It's a gorgeous thing.


I can understand why you like it so much. Mine still has very modest
proportions, but growing well. It will take a few years to catch up with
yours. I'll look forward to it.

I have recently acquired a new plant and would like to quiz you on it, if
I
may, but I'll start a new thread rather than add it here. I'll also
introduce myself, as I see there are many new posters since I left.


See Ray's response above which he hopes is helpful to you.


I have, thanks, and responded.

Thanks for the cheery welcome. Richard says hello.

And to him. It's good to see you here.


Good to be back, thanks.
Spider
