    You're welcome Joolz - mine are flowering their little heads off, plus the Winston Churchill :biggrin: Will take some more pics later if it stays sunny (yes we actually have some sun this morning!).

          One of my shrub (dunno if that`s the right term) fuchsias today. Planted them last year but cut them back too early I think. They took a while to recover from the late frosts.
          Should open up any day now:dancy:

                I will have a gentle rummage in the morning - if it's not raining of course. I have 4 or 5 troughs and I can't remeber which I pout in which?
                That is to say, they are all acurately labelled but I can no longer see the labels as it looks like an Amazon Rain forest in each. Hence, a gentle,unhurried rumage.

                      Oooh, some scrumptious flowers there. Mine are very slow at the moment. Only Bicentennial, Pour Menneke and Flashlight have bloomed so far. Bicentennial's not quite what I expected (didn't realise it would have the cerise colour) and some of the blooms look a little dry to me. See the second picture - do you see what I mean, and is there a reason for this? I got Pour Menneke to try something different as I usually buy the big fluffy fuchsias. I think once more of the flowers bloom it'll look pretty good. Really pleased with the way all the Flashlights are coming on though.
