    @Michael Hewett can't see all the pics that you put up only the pulmonaria and Sanguisorba officinalis.

      No problem here, although I was slow loading due to lack of Internet speed.

        That's odd @Logan, I've had no problem with the site today. Maybe it will right itself later on.

        Strange that the ones you can see show mostly variegated leaves, the flower ones are the ones you can't see.

                That is not one I am familiar with. Very pretty. I like the Clerodendrum thomsoniae and tried it once but couldn't keep it going.

                    I have C ugandense but had to move it out of the extreme sun into a filtered sun area.
