Thanks Dave :cool3:

By the way - I've noticed that a lot of the plant names end with "Wort" and I wondered what that meant so looked it up and was interested to find that it indicates that it was used in names of plants and herbs that were used as food or medicinally, e.g. butterwort, lungwort, woundwort and that the first part of the plant such as lung or wound indicates the reason it was used as a medicine.
