They are quite striking. However---I know you have plants I would love to grow--but it's too warm here. Grass is always greener aye? :-)<BR/><BR/>Stuart and Gabrielle---aahh the smells of plants. Nothing like a smell to pull out some forgotten memory of a person long passed away. I am glad I have these to remind me of her because you are correct---she is passed away now.<BR/>Luckily too I didn't kill myself getting them out this time. I must be getting smarter (wiser?) with age :-DDancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-19030454537243316942007-11-05T02:45:00.000-05:002007-11-05T02:45:00.000-05:00Hi Monica!The appliance of science: what an innova...Hi Monica!<BR/>The appliance of science: what an innovative way of solving your problem, you've turned into a plant archaeologist.<BR/>Happy memories evoked, when you stop to admire it or smell its blooms, of your inspirational neighbour (who I guess has moved on by now). I had some mint that I'd taken from my maternal grandmother's garden and planted in various gardens where I've lived since and then used to make mint sauce. I have very happy memories of being in the kitchen with her and being allowed, as a young child, to use the huge sharp kitchen knife to chop up the leaves, adding sugar and vinegar and scraping it into a mush, taste-testing until it was done. That original mint has gone now but it doesn't seem to matter anymore, as any mint now always reminds me of my granny.<BR/>If you don't know of mint sauce in the US, our French neighbours certainly don't, it's used as a condiment on roast lamb ... yum!Stuart and Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886622731103783384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-1951388112876198622007-11-02T15:27:00.000-05:002007-11-02T15:27:00.000-05:00So very lovely, sadly I don't think they'd do well...So very lovely, sadly I don't think they'd do well here in my zone 3 garden...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
