True blue, a lovely plant I never made happy in Yorkshire, perhaps I will try it again here. Geranium ‘Orion’ and loads of borage doing their blue routine here.

There is something about blue plants, don’t you think? You should give this one a go, it works very well down here 🙂

Well, no better excuse for buying another plant, I shall tell Mr TT that Gill said so!

Hi Gill. Can you settle an argument (well sort of mild discussion)? How do you pronounce this one; is it a hard ‘K’ or a soft ‘SSSSS’?
A half of weak cider is resting on your answer!

If you were a Roman I think you might say “K”, I say SSSSSS, but what do I know? Can I have my cider now please?

Be neutral, Gill! Pronounce it “p” (as in “plumbago” 🙂
Or suggesting a hard “SS” as in “hiss” might also save you taking sides.
