..no, definitely not, .. ethereal, what a lovely word
thank you all so much once again for your kind words from last night...
Dovefromabove,
I've not heard of the footballer Salino, but you may have heard of a character from the film 'The Sting' - Loretta Salino. She was supposed to be Robert Redford's assassin, but she failed...just as well as he was quite dishy wasn't he..? I think my favourite female film character, - I don't know why..
Verdun, I think I know that Picea albertiana, I've seen it in the garden centre, it caught my eye some time ago... I don't have one though or ever grown it I think, not sure about that..
I like conifers very much and think they are a little maligned in recent years, I find they present a calming influence in the garden, restful on the eye during troubled times, and give structure to your plantings...
my favourite is the conical slim one called Thuja 'Emerald' or 'Smaragd' as it's usually known by... I grow it next to my very favourite plant Euphorbia mellifera, which gets the most sheltered part of my garden. I've usually got a photo, so here they are together...
Salino - what beautiful pictures of a lovely garden!
My favourite plant is the rose "Constance Spry" - for similar reasons. Its good to have good memories.
hello chicky,
I saw that one in a National Trust garden once, it was gorgeous. Perhaps too big for me to grow at the time... otherwise I don't know why I didn't grow it... there are so many to choose from it's quite bewildering...
Salino, I think you are a ttrue plantswoman. The pictures last night and your knowledge are really great. I look forward to hearing and seeing more of your wonderful garden

Therapeutic and cathartic. Who says men can't talk about their feelings.
We're not so different after all I think.
Goodnight boys.
Good to know you both
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
...yes goodnight, chat again soon I hope.... time to go to bed, forum went terribly slow so hope this doesn't duplicate...
I'm a lady
... but no problem...
Possibly we thought you were a chap because of Leandro Salino, the football player
What gorgeous gardens Salino - and how wonderful to have such precious memories.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

So sorry! not sure why I made that assumption. Lovely to hear your stories and chat with you too. There's a lot of good people on this forum.
I'm not really a 'girl' as I'm a fairy......

Love to see that Euphorbia again Salino. I managed to keep one for 3 years but not now. Evensome of my hardier ones have given up this winter.
