They can seem garish and insistent like an unwelcome guest at a party. She is not alone in plants having bad associations for her. In my case it was hydrangas, which I am now getting over.<br /><br />Lucy and all It is also called yellow corydalis or corydalis lutea. It belongs to the family Fumariaceae, and has curiously according to two sources been associated with Papavaraceae, though it bears little resemblance to any poppies that I know.<br /><br />Odd how there appears to be a distinct language or behavoural pattern for people in TV drama. I suppose script writers pick things up from each other like viruses without realising it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-69135590932821134052012-07-03T09:15:41.778+01:002012-07-03T09:15:41.778+01:00I thought it was called canary creeper; are they t...I thought it was called canary creeper; are they the same? I think it might be related to nasturtium.<br /><br />The 'come here' thing was rather successfully ridiculed by French and Saunders in a parody of Baywatch (a programme I never watched) where they were lolloping about in swimming costumes, pouting in a sultry manner and giving each other frequent comforting cuddles preceded by 'come here!'. I suppose on the Archers it's useful code to indicate a physical action which is of course not visible on radio. Anyway, I'm very glad you and Mrs P avail yourselves of the opportunity for such affectionate horseplay. Now I am pondering that I cannot imagine the original Mrs P Ma'am and Walter Gabriel indulging in comforting cuddles preceded by 'come here'. 'Doh!' perhaps...<br /><br />Something that often strikes me on all kinds of TV drama is how often people walk away from others, leave the room etc, without replying or saying a word at the end of a dialogue. Again, not something that one sees in real life, as far as I know, where one would at least grunt, say 'Mmm' or 'Uh-huh', or comply with various formulae for closing a discussion and parting.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-73417992565956862642012-07-03T07:39:19.066+01:002012-07-03T07:39:19.066+01:00En route to Tesco we pass several bushes of yellow...En route to Tesco we pass several bushes of yellow flowers like the one you show. I pointed them out to Mrs LdP who is usually an enthusiast for all types of flowers. But not these. They fringed the route to her school in Folkestone. Despite her successful passage through academe she doesn't care to be reminded about this period.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-50905043537494791802012-07-03T00:29:50.774+01:002012-07-03T00:29:50.774+01:00Such an odd name for a plant, and I don't thin...Such an odd name for a plant, and I don't think I know it by sight either. One site said it was of the smae family as bleeding hearts... hmm. Cold wet summer sounds right for us here, so far.<br /><br />Are those soaps American or British? I think both expressions are common here but I don't know if they originate in American soaps as I don't watch them. It is fascinating to read about how language travels and the reactions to these new? expressions. <br /><br />Give Mrs P our best wishes and hopes that the new hip is mending well.marja-leenahttp://www.marja-leena-rathje.infonoreply@blogger.com
