I've been meaning to re-read The Long View ever since reading the EJH biography last year.<br /><br />Hello, Maryland. I stand corrected - I'm hopeless on plants! I'd got aspidistra muddled with mother-in-law's tongue which I've just googled and turns out to be another name for sansevieria. And when I managed to find an enlargement - you're right, that's never a Swiss cheese plant! But one website suggested geranium, which it could be? <br /><br />That cover really says, 'Buy me - and bake lovely brown food', doesn't it, Darlene.

I've had a nice time catching up on your posts, Mary, but the cover on your 10p book find made me laugh. Marketing and cover art has come a long way, hasn't it. Anyway, it's what's inside that really counts...glad to hear you found a gem.Cosy Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818379449207007470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-85821528147495448462017-03-04T13:20:35.606+00:002017-03-04T13:20:35.606+00:00love your blog, but the plantypants here must add ...love your blog, but the plantypants here must add that it's a begonia alongside a sansevieria, he used same in Woman with Plants.marylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934592707133857809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-9609257036749564672017-03-04T08:26:15.210+00:002017-03-04T08:26:15.210+00:00I am really looking forward to seeing this exhibit...I am really looking forward to seeing this exhibition, Mary. And,hoping the crowds will have died down a bit by the time I make it next week. I'd never heard of the book (and, tbh, not sure I'll be needing to read it after your very thorough summing up. Thank you).I'm reading EJH's The Long View at the moment and really enjoying it.Hillary Mantel is so right, it is a mystery why she isn't more lauded and widely read.I'm still baffled by the contrast between her controlled and precisely perfect prose and her rackety out of control personal life.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471221804410563557noreply@blogger.com
