No - I treat it as an ornamental, but I love it! I suppose all Origanum leaves could be used to cook with, though, couldn't they?

I..... I ...... I ...... I've got a confession to make.................The Corydalis you so kindly sent me ...................... I'm afraid it ........... Didn't make it.

Nothing, Honest, I just potted it on and left it in a sheltered sunny spot outside my living room window. Well I say sunny but I can't be held responsible for the weather as well HeHe :~))

Well, Ian, an real old nursery man I knew, used to tell me, whenever I tried growing anything, 'it's got two chances, girl, it will either live or it will die' :)

Whoops, forgot to say how pretty this little flower is, reminded me of a Verbena.

Yes, I see what you mean - but in the border, it looks like a cloud of pinky-mauve. This is just one sprig. :-)
