    Morning all. The absolute star in my garden is erysimum Bowles mauve. I bought one plant in april last year and it hasn't stop flowering. Even now it is still covered in bloom. And it gave me a lot of cuttingmaterial too so its offspring is now growing in other gardens too. Fantastic plant and best buy ever.

    Lesley, I love the colour of that fuschia (?); what type is it?

    Thanks artjak.  I have looked all through my labels and cant find a name.  It was a gift so possibly did not have a label.   Beaus Mum could very well be right as the pictures I googled look very similarimage  I have just taken a few cuttings today.  Fingers crossed.

    Took these a couple of days ago. Oak leaf Hydrangea. First pic is the one planted in the ground, second one is the one still in a pot. Second one hasn't flowered.

    Interesting differences!

    LesleyK! Wow! That fuchsia photograph is stunning! Makes me want to get my paintbrush out. Do you mind if I use it as a reference for a painting?

    Here's my current star. I love the way the flowers open like little firework explosions. The bees seem to be enjoying it too image
