          The rhubarb completely died back in June but has suddenly come back to life now. It got watered when the beans got watered and I think it loved that amount of water.

            Isn't it just one of the best Fuchsia!

            Is this planted out Shiney?

              Armandii...... post #18, that first shot is spot on, love it! :dbgrtmb:

              Longk......I agree, I'm not a great lover of Fuschia's, I only have two and 'Hawkshead' will be staying put. :)

                Harry, my Blue Laurentia from last year overwintered successfully and is great again this year Yours looks good too but, that beautiful blue never comes true in the photograph does it sadly, I have taken about 4 different shots at different times of the day both sunny and cloudy but not been happy with the result,

                    I know I have shown the Alstoemeria "Rock N Roll" before but this is what it looks like today it has surpassed how I thought it may grow as you can see still full of flower and more to come.

                    the Agapanthus are all my own seedlings so you you can see the difference in height and flower shape and colour
