Acanthus Mollis

This fine display of Acanthus Mollis is in a neighbour's garden round the corner.

I'm still trying to find a carpet fitter; I've registered the job on several of those websites that find tradespeople for various jobs, but no luck so far. I could fit the carpet myself, but I can't remove and shave the door myself. It's a bit frustrating, though I suppose I will find someone eventually.
