Excellent thanks for ID Rachel, definately fried eggs but maybe ketchup 😋. The boys strawberry 🍓 jam is a very good likeness tho. @rachelbrooks

No accounting for children’s taste buds 😂Although I think I’d rather jam than ketchup 🤢 can’t stand it!

Mine should be too eventually, as they both have loads of buds 👍

@solly1961 I’m not convinced it’s Alan Fradd. Usually the blotches are darker. Try cyprius or ladanifera.

@solly1961 or even lusitanicus decumbens. More low growing
