Barbadon blacks

Being a sort of exotic blackberry which we stumbled across yesterday.

Some people, quite wrongly, think that the plant is a sort of verbena and other people, equally wrongly, think that it is sort of lantana. Which last, as everybody else knows, is actually the name of an important play, written in Australia and subsequently turned into a film.

A film which we know well because it got remaindered to us by Bourne Hall Library. A rather good film featuring Anthony LaPaglia, Kerry Armstrong, Geoffrey Rush (an academic lawyer here but otherwise the shrink in 'The King's Speech') and Barbara Hershey.

And despite the shrink flavouring of the film, none of this should be confused with the shrinks of Lantana, Florida. See references 1 and 2.
