    You did better than me, Eddy - I am not very good at wild plants anymore. When I was a kid I knew a few, but it's been years....

    OK, now I'm thinking of Benny Hill and how he used to slap that small man on the head.. although you can't exactly call Rolf short

    I like the way this has gone off at a tangent! If it hadn't I'd never have known you'd run pubs, Rolf! You're a man of many parts it seems!

    Yes, and that 'Snapdragon' you spoke of was probably an Antirrhinum, the cultivated variety.You probably pulled it up from someone's garden!

    Re. Toadflax (Linaria) this is the one I have lots of in the garden - it's for the Bumble Bees!

    Ooh, that's only one of many parts Rolf has played in life - and most of them bit-parts

    That's lovely Catherine - I quite fancy some in the garden, and if the bees like them....

    I think that we had better move on - I'm not sure how polite it is, discussing Rolf's 'bits'
