            I would like to keep this one but it's in the wrong place...........

            This Rose will probably go next year as getting rid of the blackspot is more hassle than it's worth..........

                  a] I've never found that they survive moving (maybe I'm clumsy)
                  and
                  b] I't would involve disturbing my Hawkshead Fuchsia (which ain't happening).

                  I can live with that!

                    They are looking extremely healthy Woo and I just love the colouring of that rose.

                        I like the Callistemons - very eye-catching.

                          Excuse me for repeating myself, but the standard and quality of images on this and other threads has just shot up and I think it's a :thumbsup: for everyone.:love30:

                              I agree Armandii but I don't know why really. I take a picture, put the sim card in my PC and view and they somehow seem sharper and more colourful. Is it the extra light?

                                Naah, I reckon it's something to do with people realising that they can see, think and take an image rather than just pointing and snapping.:dunno::snork:
