I know I should not laugh ;D about this as we have all been there and started from scratch, but one of the new ladies has a very big greenhouse and in it she has 3 growbags all with three little squares cut, very neatly, out and in each square she has a lovely weed growing, although she does have three poppies in one of them lol. The beauty of the bunch is a very healthy looking dock growing in a plant pot all by its self  :P ::) ;D.
So if you do find a site I might recommend it to her.

Is it possible for you to take a picture of this plant so we can all have a stab at it? There was a site on my favorites list that gave images of loads of flowers, I think it was a garden centre called crocus but I can't find it at the mo. ::)

Years ago I only done veg and the garden was filled with cheap bedding.
When I got serious about perrenials etc I found a book at a car bootsale, The readers digest encyclopedia of garden plants and flowers. (don't laugh)
It was a great help and just recently somebody gave me a newer edition. I still think its a great help and easy to look up something quick. These books are always at jumbles/bootsales etc. so pick one up.
