My daughter has just had to have her 15 year old Lurcher put down - a good
age for a Lurcher isn't it - the dogs name was Megan, she is buried in the garden and I was trying to think of a plant/shrub/tree anything with that name. Anyone got any ideas please? kate |

Anyone got any ideas please? kate Off topic a bit, but our lurcher is also called Megan - and 15 years IS a good age - nonetheless, I feel for you and your daughter. I just hope we get another 12 years of love from our dog. Our Meg's pics are he http://www.dentonmiller.net/Site/Stu...d_Lurcher.html and he http://www.dentonmiller.net/Site/Megs_Page.html I can't think of any plant's named Meg - but as it's a Welsh? name, you might try along those lines (although a new puppy might be a good idea!) |

Anyone got any ideas please? kate There is a Hebe, Rhododendron, and streptocarpus plus 3 Chrysanths with it as part of the name. like wise a Dahlia, Fuchsia, Pelargonium and Verbascum. I think the first two sound the best bet. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

I have heard of a rose called Megan Louise. Don't know if still available - google search only threw up a photo taken in australia. Have you thought about perhaps naming a rose for her and then planting it in the garden? Don't know much about how to do this but there seem to be loads of web sites giving this info. |

And another called Meg Merrilies: http://tinyurl.com/6ygggl -- beccabunga Thank you all for your suggestions, hard to choose they are all so good. I will pass them all on to the rest of the family and we will make a joint decision thanks again kate |

writes http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder...asp?crit=Megan For some reason the RHS planfinder is not working from my computer. It allows me to put the name in and comes up with several choices but if you select a choice it then gives you a "no plant found" page! Still, thanks for the link because i then went on to Austin roses and found Julia's rose and then via Peter Beales "Hot chocolate"! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
