Re: Euphorbia characias, Portuguese Velvet

thanks Trevor

I will try RCG - but if you could save some seed just in case it would be 
appreciated. I live about 5 min away from Graham - and now that he is open 
on Sunday I can easily pop down - I will let you know how I went.

I will also be a great opportunity to see his new perennial garden again - I 
was really impressed with it last autumn - particularly the sections amongst 
the white trunks of Melaleuca ericifolia - very clever and effective 
(especially considering that most people down our way tend to see them as 
junk and want to grub them out as quickly as they can to make a garden) - 
just shows what you can do with a bit of lateral thinking!!!
