Bush ID please
Does anyone recognise this bush?
It is quite prickly and not very popular nowadays. http://www.avisoft.co.uk/photos/image.jpg -- David in Normandy. To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the subject line, or it will be automatically deleted by a filter and not reach my inbox. |

I'd just made the whole thing up for April 1st! You seem to have caught me out though posting a link to defra that implies there is some truth to it after all - and they even call it "Plant passports"!!! Oh the irony! -- David in Normandy.

Let us consider ourselves all made fools of by Defra :-( I fell for your post, hook, line and sinker, as you can see. Greg, one of our nursery staff, has just played a brilliant one on Susie, who also works on the nursery. He rang the nursery line from his mobile and asked to speak to her, disguising his voice. Then he said that I had arranged for all the staff to have new uniforms with the name of the nursery printed on them. This includes shirts, trousers, fleeces and - exquisite thought - baseball caps. He then said this meant, of course, that everyone has to be measured and would she please arrange it. She fell for it 100% and was moaning about the thought of going around looking like some kind of barmy army and how hideous they'd look, all dressed in uniform just like people in huge garden centres and DIY stores etc. etc. Finally, someone broke it to her that she'd been well and truly suckered in. I don't think she knew whether to cry tears of mirth or relief! She came running into the house, begging me for some ideas to catch him with but too late - he was well on his guard by then! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
