If you mean the blue and white Agapanthus bed by the Albion Hotel, that is one of my efforts. You will see this scheme all over Brighton and Hove. I did my best whilst I had the position at work to florally "Blue & White-up" my home town! Lewes Road in April at Moulscoombe has also had the Albion colours treatment.

I love a bit of Agapanthus

Well here's the plants in question, photos taken by yours truly this morning (taking VERY careful care to point AWAY from all the kids playing tennis in the tennis courts, just in case one's motives be seriously misconstrued and police involvement ensue...). the plant at one end of the tennis courts is about seven foot tall, and the one at the other end must be at least ten foot.

I don't think jevs thinks it was a serious question :moo:
Still, he's never responded to any of my posts to him despite me frequenting his patch long before he got there :hilton:

I'm sorry Simmo but i don't recall ever seeing any posts to me. If you have posted something, may i appologise unreservedly, it's never my intention and i will help anyone where i can, as i'm sure my former manager and bloody good friend Jack Straw will testify.

Not the Scotch !

Turn and run!
Nothing can stop them,
Around every river and canal their power is growing.
Stamp them out!
We must destroy them,
They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour.
They are invincible,
