The scrubbing took the paint from the bumps but left it in the hollows. I was quite vigorous at times, but it can only be done on a robust paper.

It seems quite an interesting shape, though. No good for my garden unless it thrives in clay!Yvonne Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138131276780458571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325590042531115740.post-77265911455315520642015-02-04T16:24:50.587+00:002015-02-04T16:24:50.587+00:00I had to google this plant as I'm not familiar...I had to google this plant as I'm not familiar with it.
