Sorry I had to do a real double take here !!!

It definitely is the real Graham Rice her on this list. I can hardly believe 
my eyes.

I have the aforementioned book ( in hard back)and I love it! (But is not as 
good as  Hardy Pernnials which is all down to Graham himself which I have 
recommended loads of times on the perennials and other lists . Its one of my 
favourite books and I read and re read it all the time.  I even took the 
book with me to a nursery in Shropshire for someone to read the chapter on 
pulmonarias. I can't mention all the other  things I have done with it :-)
is Sue reno on this list? :-)

Graham,I  hope that you won't let this embarassing sycophancy  deter you 
from posting to us lots and lots . I am normally well behaved and lurk most 
of the time. Someone vouch for me!
 I am having to pinch myself here. Wow. Graham Rice on this list!
