The rhs magazine "the garden" arrived this morning, Graham where do you get the energy? you are always busy, I have had a quick look at the article you've written on epimediums, don't they look like aquilegias.

Martha... My annuals lecture was going to be called "I Hate Marigolds!" - but there are actually one or two I quite like.
And yes, digger, superficially epimediums so look a lot like aquilegias - though, surprisingly, they're closely related to Berberis.
