Every day we learn something new. I am of course being presumptuous. What I mean is that for me each day is a school day and I am quite happy that way. How things change. Hopefully it is the same for you too. Today I learned that the full name of this stunning tree heather is Erica arborea var. alpina f. aureifolia ‘Albert’s Gold’.
Every day I forget many things. I have a feeling this may be one of them.

Which is why plant labels were invented. I count remembering something from one minute to the next an achievement.

This one would need a very long label or very small writing!

I have some 8″ long labels (less 3″” in the ground) that can take 4 lines of print from my labelmaker. Shall I send you some and buy you a labelmaker for Christmas?

And that’s the beaut of it all; you may forget something every day, but you can learn something else every day. Keeps a nice balance.

Heathers are so pretty in their normal deep green. This one looks like a lemon cypress. I have seen them here, but it does not get cold enough for them to color well.

This one was looking particularly lovely in the low autumn sunshine.

Hopefully you will remember the image, the name isn’t always important.

Just gorgeous, who was the Albert, do we know? Mr TT points out that not only do I learn something most days, I also re-learn things he is convinced he told me about days ago. Oh well, MAM. (Middle Age Memory)

Same in our house! I have no idea who Albert was, some research perhaps?

We have ‘Albert’ in the garden, he never uses his full name unless we have visitors.😀
