            Blame @shiney !! He started it. :whistle:

            Golden Showers in full bloom (please excuse the pollen beetles: no manners! :nonofinger: )

            A slightly different view of Fuchsia "Shrimp Cocktail" as she builds up her strength to bloom. I just love all that intricate detail ...

            The inherited clematis still going strong and out reaching its host shrub ...

            A charming hebe, "Rhubarb & Custard". Still in its pot waiting for the right place to put down roots. I just love its colourings.

            My "yellow" calla lily just starting to come into bloom :heehee:

            Hydrangea: Endless Summer, Bailmer: this is a two year old cutting, carefully nurtured thanks to Kristen's "Idiot Proof Guide" on how to do it.

              And some more:
              "Shrimp Cocktail" flower

              CIMG0009.JPG

              The first flower on a hebe with a history. This was a snapped off piece (which I posted about at the time) which I pushed into compost in an unused pot. It was later joined by a piece of rosa rugosa. Only planted out back in early June (bit pot bound). So, I'm thrilled to see it is thriving after all!
              CIMG0058.JPG

              Fuchsia "Army Nurse" now in full bloom.
              CIMG0087 (1024x768).jpg

              The final flower on Campanula "Elizabeth" - the slugs/snails have decimated it!

              The lobelia I raised from seed for a hanging basket (:hapydancsmil: First time! :yahoo:)

              And the "edible" nasturtium :heehee:

                  :eeew:

                  Is " mea culpa " contagious ?

                  Have you got tablets or cream to rub on ?

                  :) :) :)

                    Hi everyone,

                    I've heard about this happening but it's never happened to one of my plants before........

                    This is a pic of my Fuchsia " Helen Fahey " .
                    On the left are the normal dark flowers while on the right it has sported a branch with pale pink flowers.


                    I'm wondering whether to pursue this further as I have a contact who owns /runs a leading Fuchsia nursery.

                    Has anyone had any experience of introducing a new cultivar of any plant ?

                    I know it can take around 3 to 5 years if testing etc.

                        I love 'Rhubarb and Custard' "M". A bit different to all the other Hebe's. :)

                          No :noidea:,

                          but we have what we now call the Shiney Hybrid chilli. They've been cross pollinated between large plants that produce small, very tasty, hot chillies and a dwarf variety. We now get small plants that produce larger, tasty hot, chillies in profusion.

                          Chillies are too promiscuous to have a new cultivar without isolation.
