    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 image

    Possibly  we thought you were a chap because of Leandro Salino, the football player image 

    What gorgeous gardens Salino - and how wonderful to have such precious memories.

    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.

    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.

    ..no, definitely not, .. ethereal, what a lovely wordimage

    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...

    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...

    ..and thank youimage

    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.
