She isn't a teensy bit hard of hearing is he? Butcher's Blue actually being
Butcher's Broom?


Well she'd only in her late 30's! However that's what I thought at first
myself Sacha.

This tells you a lot about myself, BTW! ;-)

She's got a lovely old garden, about 2 acres and a few pigs and chicken.
Bees and doves so she likes olde worlde things. She appeared in Amateur
gardener last year seated on a huge wavy bench/seat that her husband
made for her. She'd really arty so when she's sees something she likes
she goes all out to get that one particular colour or plant:) She'd
never buy three on the way up the nursery aisle before getting to the
one she came for like several of us :)

Apart from the age, I recognise a kindred spirit as to plant buying. ;-)

Butcher's Blue?

A fellow gardener from Ballinger has asked if I would try and find out
about a plant with the name of 'Butcher's Blue' or, she says, it might be
Blue Butcher.
She doesn't know what the rest of the name is, I gather she saw it in a
garden near Banbury, but she would love to buy a plant.
I've suggested Butcher's broom but she says it's definitely got BLUE in
the name.

Any suggestions?
I will get her to send a description if that helps.


A description would certainly help. Is it a tree, a shrub, a flower,
flowering? What does the flower look like? Is it a grass, a Euphorb, a
hollyhock-type, a carrot? Any descriptive info would be useful. Does she
have a digicam so we could see a photo?

How about a confusion of types of (corn):

(some have "blue", some have "butcher" in their name)
