Someone mistakenly told us he'd been in The Sun so there were some ribald jokes about Ray with his lemons and not his melons. ;-) It all came about because the local paper was doing one of those seasonal articles about cold weather, danger to gardens etc. and remembered photographing the C.medica at a show last year. So they did a local piece on it just before this cold snap, an agency picked it up and rang to ask Ray if he'd mind if they sent it round to a few people and there we are! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

It would be a terrific waste of its wonderful scent, IMO! IIRC, and now that you've mentioned it, someone on the food group showed me that article some time ago and if you're looking to impress with something unusual, that would certainly do it! I'd forgotten about it. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
