I like a little 'claw' at the end of the leaf:)

4 Mar, 2012

 

Lol..I know, just seen your photo. I took this yesterday.

4 Mar, 2012

 

does it stink?

4 Mar, 2012

 

I took mine a week ago:) I wouldn't say it stinks - only when you get closer and smell it... But there is nothing comparing to Stinking Cabbage - you can smell it miles away, lol.

4 Mar, 2012

 

never noticed Sticki..Sometimes it referes to the roots.

I used to have Stinking Cabbage in my pond Kasy...Right under the kitchen window, bad mistake.

4 Mar, 2012

 

So did you put the title without seeing mine first? lol

4 Mar, 2012

 

No ...I nicked it from you..;)))

4 Mar, 2012

 

its not the sort of plant you would give for a present ~ with that name??!!

4 Mar, 2012

 

well - I would give it for someone with a weird sense of humor, lol
Oh Pimpernel - how could you!!!! lol

4 Mar, 2012

 

oh, no - under your window! how long did it stay there? hehe

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

Should we ever do the GoYers trip together one day - I have a plant with the strange name as a gift for Pimpernel on my mind, lol.

4 Mar, 2012

 

i dread to think what that is ~ but you will have to give us a clue now!!

4 Mar, 2012

 

oh, no Sticki - you want Pimpernel to come as well, right? I cannot put him off, lol.

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

 

I don't know to be honest. But how about the Westonbirt Arboretum?

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

 

Tuesday is better for me?

4 Mar, 2012

 

I know:) Could you then post something like a little blogette saying in general we want to organise that meeting? around bluebells flowering time - date to be set?

4 Mar, 2012

 

Lol...Plotting and planning.

I kept the Skunk cabbage there just two weeks and moved it the far corner. Still like them though.

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

4 Mar, 2012

Hate Summer!

4 Mar, 2012

 

im sure its lovely any time there!

4 Mar, 2012

 

Log cabins.....well, at least you didn't ask for igloo's :)
Yes Sticki, beautiful any time, but you won't have me as your tour guide in the winter months!! :)

4 Mar, 2012

 

oh ok, summer it is then.

4 Mar, 2012

 

Yes but a shame that Pimp won't be joining us.....we do have air conditioning here Pimp.

4 Mar, 2012

 

Outside as well...? and you would have to walk beside me carrying a parasol to shield my sensitive skin and eyes from the evil rays!

4 Mar, 2012

 

well can we compromise on autumn or spring??

4 Mar, 2012

 

Lol, this is what I get for checking in during a cig break :))

No worries Pimp, I will be sure to keep you slathered in a high SPF to protect your delicate English skin. I'll also personally fan you during all outdoor excursions ;)

Actually Sticki, Autumn would be perfect! Now one of us just needs to win the lotto!!!

4 Mar, 2012
