Armeria Maratima

     Hi all,
     
     The other variety was Dusseldorf Pride which is slightly larger than 
     the standard variety.
     
     I was going to explain the term Irishman's cuttings, but a combination 
     of Digest timing and time zones means someone else beat me to it 
     clearly and succinctly, so nothing further to add.
     
     The early clematis are in flower here now, with most other things 
     (hardy geraniums, phlox paniculata, campanula) greening up and getting 
     ready to form buds.  We had a mild winter so my Alstromelias stayed 
     green and are gaining height.  They do exceptionally well in my garden 
     and are an exotic (by our standards) alternative to liliies and I 
     don't think you get the same problem with pollen marks on clothes.
     
     I did strike me that in an earlier thread on romantic plantings many 
     people seemed to be describing typical traditional British herbaceous 
     border plants.  I don't recognise a lot of the plants discussed here, 
     maybe because common names differ across the Atlantic, but find it 
     strange to hear of people having problems with our common garden 
     flowers, while complaining that plants we can only consider as annuals 
     or tender hot house plants have run amok in their gardens.
     
     Right then, off to plant some more Lewisia and Phlox paniculata 
     Fujiyama.
     
     Karen in Cheshire, hoping the jasmine will sprout some leaves soon.
