In the end, it became unwieldy so I've relegated it to the foot of the page while I decide what to do with it.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-32978620657905767012010-06-23T09:21:06.497+01:002010-06-23T09:21:06.497+01:00Hello Diana.

Hadn't the foggiest idea what they are and floundered around wondering if they had something to do with story boards for films . . . perhaps they were 'board shots', not 'shorts'. That made it difficult to track Town Mouse's post because I was looking vaguely for completely the wrong thing . . . but, when I eventually found it and the site it describes - aren't the shorts they make wonderful? Thank you for drawing my attention to them.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-25739309253464218772010-06-23T09:18:00.831+01:002010-06-23T09:18:00.831+01:00Hello Leavesnbloom.

I was thinking this is a plant commonly called 'Eggs and Bacon' but it's a bit more substantial than I'm used to so I looked it up. In the book, Bacon and Eggs is Lotus corniculatus (Common Bird's-Foot-Trefoil) but the leaves don't look quite right - so perhaps I'll should stick with little yellow flowers after all!<br /><br />However, I do know the blue flowers aren't borage and that's quite reassuring because, if you were to see this plant in real life 'Borage' wouldn't even cross your mind so it shows how deceptive photos can be - and that means I now don't feel anywhere near as bad that I can hardly ever work plants out from books. I get stuck at 'little' and 'yellow'.<br /><br />Did you ever find out more about your strange plant in the spring?<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-81620622348438820652010-06-23T08:39:55.999+01:002010-06-23T08:39:55.999+01:00Hello Pat

Detail goes missing. I don't know whether this is due to the revised Blogspot format or I because I need to prepare the pictures differently.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-7645651776585698612010-06-23T05:02:17.452+01:002010-06-23T05:02:17.452+01:00Hey Lucy!

There is a blogger who is a fabric designer, but I have lost track of her, and my memory is completely blank related to her name and blog.

Imagine having the Heuchera (at the bottom) to coat a sofa and the Eggs and Bacon (the yellow one above it) as small cushions chucked onto it.<br /><br />I think the top one (dark green leaves, bright blue flowers - don't know what it's called) would make a lovely skirt and the Sedum a waistcoat for a flamboyant young man.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-89036345980061380492010-06-19T13:46:29.055+01:002010-06-19T13:46:29.055+01:00Yes!
