Don't know what it is, but it's definitely not a Bonbon, which is what I thought I gave you!

Neither have I ;D But I like the way you have labelled the plant :) my labels are now all hidden by the plants themselves so it's a right pain when I want to figure out what is what!

We have to label everything so that we can see what is or has been planted in the space cos by the time next year comes we both will have forgotten what the hell was there.
