Re: I know that name was: runner plants

Oh, Kitty, ain't it de truff!  Invariably, my brain decides to pull a
Senior Moment when I'm trying to tell someone what a plant I have
grown for years is called...happens all the time.  Well, I bury the
tags next to the plant (to keep the squirrels from removing them)
and, of course, when the SM hits and I try to find the tag, I can't. 
 Duh!  As the years march on, these SMs seem to happen with
increasing frequency, whether in the garden or not.  I will be
writing some post about something I grow and come up with a blank. 
If I did not have the RHS Plantfinder next to me, I'd be sunk....and
as it is, sometimes it means an extended search as I can't even
remember what letter it starts with...ack!
