Bit of an usual one this - I had a bunch of flowers bought for me back in May - my Iris blew over and I stuck them in a vase with what was still OK from my bouquet. You know how you get foliage and berries - well this is the best view I can get of the berries, which I dried and sowed - and now have a little plant pot full - any ideas so I can try and look after them??  x Tig |

The berries look very much like Hypericum (Rose of Sharon) to me Tig.  |

Hmmm. Can be invasive eh?? They may get grown on in pots and then go to the parish plant sale  |

They don't get creepy-invasive Tig, but they self-seed in awkward places. (Sometimes requiring surgical removal  ) I have loads of them and like them very much. I cut them to the ground at the end of the year.  |
