    A nice play on words, then, Cherry???

    Good to see the flowers named after various Bishops. You’d have to be careful when naming any prickly flowers ;)

  4. Lovely. What is the collective noun for bishops?

    These are Dahlias, part of a strain that have Bishop as the series name, and Bishop of Llandaff is the best known…

    it became very popular during a fad for dark ‘black’ leaved plants some years ago and still sells well , but in reality the attraction is nothing without the flowers and the black foliage is never easy to place well in a garden as it simply has limited appeal outside that it is unusual, but that is fashion in gardening for you.
