    So they did! Sorry for the digression Dave, but its Soleirolia Soleirolli (syn. Helxine Soleirolli) so what does the syn. bit mean?? I’m fairly new to grappling with botanical names.

    @Nollie - don't put yourself down. I doubt there's not one person on here who hasn't made a little slip or two. After all, we are all human and as long as we have the humour to laugh at ourselves as well, then all is fine on the forum.

    I'm pretty sure that every time someone asks a 'stupid' question a dozen other people breathe a sigh of relief that they didn't have to but still found the answer!

    I'd prefer it to empty cracks, but that's just me, I suppose :)
