Could be a kind of Wygelia too. Tigs close-ups are incredibly difficult but so nice keep them coming tig. Erm oh yeah we have to guess this one first hm..... The before answers seem better than mine  |

;D Well done Dutchy!! It is Weigela Briant Rubidor I was busy snapping the bug on the flower - and only after did I notice how pretty the flowers were inside the bells!  Everyone had enough? Or shall I see if anything is worthy of snapping tomorrow? Happy to oblige - but only if people still want to guess. Tig |

Now that I know it's a Weigela, it is obvious  I really should look more closely at the flowers on shrubs. Mmmmmm lovely pic Ruthie, but a good think is required.  |

Is it some kind of fern? - lovely veining  |

Post by Ruthie on Oct 13, 2007 18:52:01 GMT
No Not a fern, but it is all one leaf and is a rather tender plant (try telling mine that tho' seems tough as old boots to me).

It isn't hairy enough for an oriental poppy, but leaf shape looks similar? I give in too  |

Well done Yakram!!! Thought if I left it long enough someone would get it. And I've only just come on line as I've been a busy bee. Here it is in all it's glory!! If You've got space I'd recommend it!  |

Post by Ruthie on Oct 16, 2007 20:21:55 GMT
Yeeeees it so is!!! Bet you're the only one who knew that?!! I know a lot of plants but until the lady whose flat we stayed in in Madeira gave it to me I'd never seen it! The RHS book calls it "Mexican Bush" and I can safely say it is NOT hardy in Norfolk....but I always take cuttings.

I really should look more closely at the flowers on shrubs.
