    Sorry but the foliage is wrong :frown:

    I grew a couple a few years ago and they're far from hardy I'm afraid.

            Hi longk, sorry for the late response just home from work.....oh... I was so convinced it was one :roflol: back to the drawing board then, I know it bears fruit as when we moved in there was evidence of that... Best get back to my homework to try and identify it... But thank you for the information it has helped in a process of elimination :dbgrtmb:

                Hi Zigs, that is so lovely, may I ask what it is? And is it suitable for shaded areas? Thank you in advance :)

                    Oh that's fantastic :dbgrtmb: I'm trying to find things to go in quite a shaded area, it does get sun in the morning but not for long so maybe this will suit :blue thumb: I'll have a read up on it :) thank you

                          That's gorgeous Longk, it almost looks like it's made of paper.

                            It's one of my favourite tender shrubs. As you say the flowers have a very delicate look about them.
