Thanks Vicky ,it certainly is ..that's the main issue ,each year I forget about our sleeping perennials below ground!!!

 

Lovely Michael, I know that I say this every year but I do wish I knew the names of our Fuchsias....one I do as it was a cutting from one in my parents garden but the rest...

 

Fuchsias are difficult to identify @Upsydaisy, there are so many similar ones.
Beryl and I used to keep a list of the names because we had so many different varieties (190+) and when we bought new ones we didn't want duplicates. We could take cuttings if we wanted duplicates.
Most of them are gone now

 

Have to agree Michael a lot do look very similar indeed..glad to hear you say that too as I thought it was just me!!
