Snipped ..

I feel sure that the Hebe Society http://www.hebesoc.org/ will be
able
to help you, particularly in view of the fact that you have such
good
photographs of your problem.

Emrys Davies.

Thanks ever so much, Emrys. I'll give that a try. I should have
thought of
it, but I was panicking and beside myself with misery. Many years
ago, I
met Graham Hutchins, proprietor of County Park Nursery and a top man
in the
Hebe Society. With some luck, I may even be able to buy a replacement
from
him. A couple of months ago, I stuck a handful of cuttings in the
ground,
but there is no sign yet that they have taken - or, indeed, have
escaped the
same affliction. My fingers are well and truly crossed!

Thanks again.

Of course I will. Thanks again, Emrys.
