Ask the Expert: Please can you identify this plant?
I have recently moved to a new house in Wales, UK. I am curious to find the name of this plant that not even my expert gardening father can identify.I do know that as much as the slugs and snails loved to eat this it managed to survive.

People often associated Friday the 13th with a bad day. As I see it, this year it is going to be a good day for Florida Florists (many are Flower Shop Network members). Why?
