    I keep forgetting to photograph these so I just did it whilst I was thinking about it;
    Fuchsia "David" isn't looking too shabby at the moment..............

    It's rather mugging "Hawkshead" though................

      I don't like the 'clump' forming of the plants Longk and Anthony, they grow like an Iris. I'm thinking more along the lines of upright tall growth like Delphiniums which Verbascum seems to be.

      Actually to me, Sheal, my Delphiniums and the like seem more clumpy [but still upright] than Sisyrinchium which, you're right, grow like an Iris but a Iris has always seems more "singular" in appearance.:dunno::doh::snork:

                            Do either of these ring a bell....

                            C. Takesimana " Elizabeth"

                            C. Punctata " Pink Chimes"

                            Pink Chimes has spots inside ( like a foxglove).

                            I'm trying to get a list together of " to get" plants and I'd like to get a pink Campanula and yours looks gorgeous :)
