A nice way to discover new blog so I shall pop back to visit some of them over the next few Clarence Day Chloris . Now I think that I had a lot of horticulture books but … … . 🙂
Congratulations , Chloris ! You deserve the kudos . It ’s so fun to learn more about bloggers through the answers to their interrogation . Interesting that you detest balls ! We all have our hatred and loves , do n’t we ? Your last photo of the sunset is gorgeous !
felicitation ! It is most for sure deserve . I thought it funny you would have liked to meet Reginal Farrer . I admire him but I am not indisputable I would have liked to meet him . My favorite story about him is that his Father of the Church open him a hefty sum to black market in an election and he expend the lot on plants ! He must have had an amazing memory as he proofread his magnum opus in China without a reference book at hand – all these Latin names !
Two terrific awards for you and your lovely blog Chloris !
