In the first place because I was Car sick and then later because my wife said "Just dig it over for me!"
We have a slide and negative reader on the scanner. If you have the orignal negatives for your pictures the results are far better than those...
They do not appear to have a Latin name other than Petunia x hybrida. This will be followed by the varietal name, but you would need a seed...
Of course you all realise that there is also a Lily called the Leopard lily too? Lilium pardalinum. Will post a picture when I can find a decent one.
Platycodon grandiflora. It also comes in pink and white and there is a dwarf blue one called P.c. Apoyama. For anyone growing it, mark the spot,...
