Thank you firstly for the i.d. of the plant, it is definitely an Aruncus
Dioicus, or as Kay says, Goatsbeard Spirea. Its very beautiful. I am
going to try to find one this very evening, whilst out buying small bamboo
edging.

Secondly, apologies for my use of my photo album, I dont know what I'm doing
wrong, i'm copying and pasting what I normally do, but its all going
whoopsadaisy, so I'll find a deserted newsgroup and have a faff round with
it.

thanks again.
