      It isn't Leonora Anthony. I've got that one and it's not the same. Thanks for your help though :)
      I don't suppose I mind if I don't know the name. It's very pretty :)
      This is Leonora :-

        Hi Michael,

        I've just had a thought, this may be a bit obvious as it's a common one so you may have already discounted it, how about "Beacon Rosa " ?

          It might be, I'm not sure.
          I've looked at photos of Beacon Rosa and it seams rather dainty, whereas these flowers have long sepals and angular petals.
          I'll have another look tomorrow ... to tired now lol

                      I bought the following three as very small plants from Morrisons at £1 each! They have come on quite a bit since then!

                      ... And also an un-named small bush variety which has been flowering beautifully for the past month!

                      This is my first time growing Fuschias, they are all in pots in a sheltered corner of the garden and seem to love their half sun/half shade place. Lovely! :)

                        All i can tell you about this one is its hardy, i pulled it up by the roots in early spring and put it on the compost a few days later i realised what it was and replanted it :).
