Very Quatermass, that entry from Jeremy. Definitely looks as if its got a secret life of its own! Nice to see all those brown plants (name???). Who remembers that huge version of it often entered by the late Una Eaton? Sue K
Aeoniums, Sue! The (mostly) black ones are the popular "Schwartzkopf". We also remember the Eaton's entry of Aeonium Tabulaformiae (trans - like a tabletop") - a very flat single rosette which eventually flowered and died (as the individual rosettes do when they flower), with Roy handing out the seeds to keep the memory alive! They also showed a silver Salvia (possibly argentum) which we always called "dirty dishcloth", as that was rather what it looked like in the garden ... ahh, memories!
