| I see a striped rose. What is it? I saw your post in the gallery. I think you have the rose mislabeled. Mme Lauriol de Barny is a solid color. It is also a more vibrant shade of pink. |

| Duh. I swear. I think I just make up names for my roses. I need to get them labelled! Sorry. It's Madame Driout. EEK. I guess de Barny is my Madame who has yet to bloom. Thanks for pointing it out. Susan |

| I can relate, Susan. I mix up names too. Once I called the very famous SC rosarian Ruth Knopf, "Ruth Stout" repeatedly. Sometimes dumb just oozes out of me. :( Gean |

| Would it be stupid of me if I asked what 'plonk' means in this context? I only know of the british slang use of the word for poor quality cheap wine. Beautiful flowers btw Nik |

| I believe the term "plonk" is a corruption of the verb "plonk," to set something down w/o ceremony. In Susan's context, the word is used as a noun, as an informal arrangement of flowers, set down w/o ceremony. |
