Corinthian

Georgie gave me a tour of the garden pointing out various growths, one of which she called a corinthian plant, or summink simla. Then she went on about Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan and Composite, some of which names I vaguely recognised as Greek columns, or summink simla. Then she asked in a very superior manner "didn't you do classics?" Being a yob, of course I didn't. So I countered with "Norman, Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular" which had nothing to do with the classics but it was better than saying nothing. Er, took some snaps of other garden stuff plus some plants round and about on canine strolls. It's a good time of year for plants. But, drought conditions mean we can't legally water le jardin. We need rain.
