G'day Tom,

Never trust a pocket dictionary - that's the abbreviated edition!! It
missed out the fact it could also be a decorated pot etc. etc. etc.

The truth of the matter is that a Jardiniere is the name used by antique
dealers for a stand or pot so they can charge five times as much for it
!!!!!! <vbg>

A very cynical ........ Susie Z
