[Leica] IMG: Desperate!

[Douglas Barry]

We don't seem to get those over here, Jim, but, then again, my plant 
recognition is patchy at best. I'd have to consult with the wife who is 
the horticultural expert in the house. Sorry to hear about your heatwave 
- this non-existent global warming is probably sending outliers of fake 
news :-) Hopefully it will cool down for you and you can work in more 
pleasant conditions. Keep the pecker up!
