Lots of good buys from the car boot and some weird and wonderful ones as well! Shame about the bag - not something I'd have looked for either. <br /><br />Sorry to hear Col hasn't been too good but really pleased to hear that the infection has cleared up and he'll be home with you again soon. <br /><br />Your posts are always so positive even when things must be worrying you terribly.

I have so many colours now, from palest almost white pink to deep violet, and each new plant brings a different tone depending on its parents.
