Yes, I really love the way some of our plant names sound - there is poetry, even opera, to be heard in many of them. Some favourites: Leucanthemella serotina, Lunaria rediviva, Amelanchier lamarkii....
A gorgeous flower. It’s hard when the rampaging pigeons arrive. I save sharp prunings and cut into short lengths. I poke them in at frequent intervals. They don’t look too bad as it’s only short term and deter both pigeons and cats. Good luck!
Pachyphragma macrophyllum trips off the tongue in satisfying fashion… peckish pigeons notwithstanding, good luck for the coming season/s.
