    Oh strongy, your baskets are magnificent.

    I've got some Marcus Grahams just getting ready to bloom so if they're anywhere as good as yours I will be a very happy girl!

      Wow! Now that's impressive.

      OK, it's a cuttings deal. :)
      Bless her.

      I've grown fuchsias for a few years, but up until last year was in a flat so they just lived on the balcony and it seemed to protect from the worst of the winter ravages and they'd just come back again without me do anything but cutting them back. All this overwintering is new to me!

                    Same here. You just want to give them a big kiss, don't you?!
                    I first saw it online last year when it was just too late to buy any, so I've waited a while to see it in the flesh and it's more than fulfilled my expectations. (And there's not much I can say that about these days. :heehee:)

                      Love that geranium in with Wendy's Beauty - look forward to seeing that when it comes out too.

                      I've got Orange Crush too - got it last year and left it in the border over winter thinking it would be OK but I lost it. Thank goodness I'd got a few cuttings and most of them have come on well.
