      Don't look like Queen Vic to me. I'd say that it looks more like Fan Scarlet to be honest.

        Thanks Longk,

        I'll have to investigate.

        Is Fan scarlet the same as Fan pink ( don"t say they're different colours, I know what you're like ), cuz I've had the pink one for a couple of years now and it's just coming into bud so I was wondering if I could match them up that way.

                          Roots easily so plenty of takers for that I'd have thought.
