Thank you, Paul. I've just googled it; it, apparently, produces beautiful flowers and edible fruits. So much to look forward to!
As for the grasses, she told me that when she'd bought them, both had the same name on their labels. She can't remember it clearly but she thinks it was Deschampsia. However, their flowers don't look the same. I imagine they're different varieties??
The flowers change appearance as they open and reveal the stamens. The one on the left is definitely Deschampsia, the one on the right is a bit battered, but could be the same, just a bit more developed.
Thank you, Buttercupdays. She'll be pleased she could remember at least that name! I suppose we'll have to be patient and wait till the flowers of the second one are fully developed. At the moment, they don't look remotely the same.
Hi Sam, yes, it is nice to be back. The break was not exactly intentional. When the board went through its reorganization, naturally we all had a break. When it came back, I took a look and felt, I shall need time to read all this! Unfortunately, I often find when a habit is broken it takes considerable effort to reinstate it.
But, there's always plenty to do, places to visit and friends to see. We've had a lovely long holiday since, as well as several mini breaks AND tried not to let the garden become a jungle!
