There are still plenty of them on lampposts in a few areas around here. 

Quote from: Raven on April 20, 2026, 11:30:31 PMI have 2 azaleas in pots and 2 in the ground. Also 2 Rhododendrons's, 1 deep purple and 1 pink, they are almost in bud. I have 2 fire bushes as well, all need hard pruning back. My bamboo is enormous it was cut last year but it's around 12 ft again.
The spyira bush and the Smoke Bush are really big too, lots of pruning to do this year. I love shrubs as you'll have guessed lol. I still have some lavender to get but end of May before I do that. Still got Dageus's Forget me Knots that the vet gave me for him in a ceramic pot, I'll need to find a place for them soon. Want a southernwood bush to replace the one I lost a couple of years ago but I think it's going to have to be got online, they're simply not available here. The smell from them if you touch them is wonderful.

When one of my much loved German Shepherds died years ago,  I planted,  amongst other things,  some Forget- Me-Nots for him too.
When I moved house a few years later,  I dug up a few roots of them and took them with me to where I am now.

They spread like wildfire Raven   I now have wall to wall Forget-Me-Nots come up every year,  they're growing  everywhere,  even in my tubs of Roses and other shrubs now!

So I wouldn't worry too much where you plant yours,  as they will soon be growing all over the place.

What an exceptionally kind idea from your vet.     

They are everywhere especially on Spains  national day or any other festive day and there are many of them .

On their houses and businesses? That would work here too. Probably not on bridges of lampposts such as happened near here. 🇬🇧

They are all like that in Europe .

That could be a good idea,  except with some people that still use cash. 
I often still use cash myself,  being an old fossil.

The name rings a bell but nothing more .
