      They're both beautiful and unusual. Where did you get the Indian Summer Petunia from? Not one I've seen in any of our regular garden centres. I also have to ask - is that wall pot the Petunia is in from HomeSense / TK Maxx by any chance? We saw some near identical to those this year and were this close to buying a couple (only didn't because trying to save £ for internal renovations)!

            Front and back are looking good Freddy.:dbgrtmb:

            @Ben James both Petunias were bought as small plugs from Wyevale in early April.
            The pots were from our local indie Garden Centre.
