P.S. Isn't the RAIN, welcome!

It was. It can stop now, thank you very much. It's now lying in pools
on the ground which is sodden! The shrub looks like Lantana. They're
all over the Med. and are grown in this country, too but I've lost them
at -4C. It's a gorgeous shrub and a big favourite of mine.

Sacha, you're a gem! Many thanks, indeed!

I've just popped "lantana" into google and got a faceful of gorgeous
pics of them!
