    Oreti—Hahaha, that’s a good one. Lucky for me that you knew that one, because I could not see it clearly in the foto. D’ya know what is so sad though? What is so sad is that I have this same plant. I ought to have recognised it. Oh dear me.
    Of course you have impressed with this knowledge, but I was already impressed with all the lovely plants and bed arrangements that you have.
    Ta.

    Pac— I so appreciate your kindest of words on the preceding page. That was so nice.

    Sjoerd wow what an impression the pink hibiscus makes next to the yellow flowers and green background. I can almost touch it. Very nice to see .:smt023

    Daniel gorgeous lockin yummy. Such a treat that we have the opportunity to grow whatever we want in our own gardens. :smt023

    Daniel— looking is looking good, mate… and those look gooo-oooood !

    Pac— thank you so much. That view just caught my eye as I was leaving.
    That stone head looks more like the stone heads of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) to me. I did not see any of these at Stonehenge whilst there. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, this head looks great in your wonder garden, mate.
