Hi there, After Dad died Nov 11, 2004, I planted red poppies in his honour (WWII Black Watch of Cda). I wish to add to that garden. As most of Dad's family came from Birmingham (further back to Yks, Wales, Gloucs, Ireland, Kent), I was looking for suggestions for plants/shrubs that are common in that area. They don't have to be native (unless I can get them by seed due to Import Laws), but something that is often found in gardens. Would appreciate any suggestions (off list please). I live in one of the warmer areas of Canada and so many plants that hate deep freezes do well here. Eventually I will have the Genealogy Garden (when I find a plant with a proper name within my tree, will add that as well !!) Thanks Cheryl

To all who replied to my request to work on the above... Many many thanks.... Wonderful ideas and greatly appreciated. Cheryl
