It is good to be appreciated

This fun card arrived today from A & D to say thanks for the work done and to be done on the garden. We also got an update on Rags; ?he is enjoying his holiday and so far has been good?! I hope he manages to keep it up for the whole month!

The mystery plant in our garden which we first saw in New Zealand is phlomus. I planted seeds from the one stem a neighbour gave us and grew dozens of plants which I have distributed to all and sundry. I can now change its name from ?the yellow pompom thing that the bees love? to its correct name.
