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?

Depending on your soil I'd guess that the Hebe or the Rhododendron would
be your best bet.

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

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!)

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.

I always like a dog rose as an idea for these circumstances. But given a
name like Megan, how about the Welsh poppy?

Sorry you've lost Megan, but yes - good age for any dog.

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.

There is a rose called Meg: http://tinyurl.com/69md4m.

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

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"!

It was working when I wrote the material quoted above. It wasn't working
yesterday (I was trying to check the spelling of a Penstemon), and it's
not working now.
