I'm putting this in Orange because I'm sure that's the colour it is  , but it was bought for me by a friend and it's supposed to be Pink Damask |

Jenny, that's the most gorgeous colour! A couple of orange and red things here: Crocosmia ...  Fuchsia Thalia ...  ... and an unamed cutting-grown fuchsia which actually looks even better in bud than in flower:  |

Pretty!!! Which reminds me I must check the garden later coz I'm sure I spotted a rogue fuchsia growing there. I had a fuchsia in the garden which I dug up a couple of years ago. Then I put annuals in last year to fill the gap while the other things filled out a bit, and I'm sure I spotted a little rogue fuchsia coming up.

Hi Plocket .... ignorant moment here (one of many) ... do fuchsias self-seed? That would be great news ... cheers ...

Oh crumbs I've no idea! I guess the wild ones do, and perhaps near relatives of them but I don't think the more cultivated ones do - most people take cuttings of them to propagate onwards. I probably left a bit of root in the ground or something - that's more likely I think!

Gorgeous Chuckles. Dahlias are such cheerful things - always smile when I see them.

Hi Chuckles, agree with RF - that top one is scrumptious. Here's His Grace, the Bishop of Llanduff:  ... cheers ... |

Will you be taking cuttings of that one next spring......(cheeky cow smiley!!). I have got one LFC player in my FF team |

Post by Deleted on Aug 6, 2007 21:11:30 GMT
To be honest with you, they're so easy to grow I won't be bothering with cuttings and I always have plenty of new seed left over at the end of the season
Only one LFC player??? Bet it's Benayoun...
