I don't discriminate, they both smell wonderful. I am encouraging the white ones, but removing the blue (Spanish) seedheads. Hello West of London, this greeting comes from deepest Sussex :-) Grenou |

Many years ago I planted some species Scilla but now they all appear to have gone and been replaced by hybrid Spanish bluebells of various colour which I certainly did not plant. My surname is actually a Sussex name, and the reason I put a rough idea of where I am in the world as a signature is so that others can then put any gardening comments I make into context. Helps stop arguments. :-) -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
