Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Franz
Happy Birthday to you

And from me too

Even if I am a cantankerous old argumentative octogenarian?

Many thanks, Janet. I appreciate it more than you realise.

But to get to the point: How on earth did you discover when my
birthday is, a n that I am not a mere youngster?

I think we all knew you were not a mere youngster (1) - you've posted a
few historical notes in urg ;-)

(1) these terms are relative of course - I know several people who would
still consider you a youngster!

Thank you, Kay. My friends in urg have made my day.
Would you like some of your Helxine back? It is overrunning its
allotted space.

You should know by now that if urglers have plants to give away, it's
because they have outrun their allotted space ;-)

I can give you some of Jill Bell's white flowered herb Robert to go with
it, if you like? And some of her Euphorbia cyparissius variety, with
lovely red new leaves. And chuck you in some Euphorbia robbii while I'm
at it.

Thanks for the offer. I already have most of those in profusion. I
also have an ever increasing patch of Euphorbia griffithi which my
better half refuses to allow me to "control". {:-((
