Thanks Jack! could you remind us where on Birkacre the Niger is please.

For those who's Latin is not good (like me) raphanus sativus is garden radish

[Hewitt03]

I havent actually seen the niger. Carol Winder has uploaded a photo to Wild About Britain with a caption "next to the Big Lodge at Birkacre"

The niger is still there and just about in flower.
