Sonchus fruticosus
24th August 2008
I have just been given a rooted cutting of this shrubby dandelion from Madiera. Lush heads of leaves - it has just been frosted here (3rd January 2009)
but the growth at ground level still looks strong, so I hope it will survive.

The original plant has been killed outside by a series of cold winters, but I have been given another seedling
by a friend and I am not going to take risks with it just yet.
