She is beautiful. Call me thick (I know others do!) but from just a head shot she doesnt look like a Horsfield-or if she is she is unusually beautiful in the looks department!?

the second plant is not edible by the way, as shellonia says. I have that in the garden too, had it for years before we got torts |
