Hi Larburnum, it is a Rudbeckia 'Herbstsonne' 'Autumn Sun' if I remember correctly. I got in a garden centre locally, I don't think it is an unusual one and should be available

 

Marge,If you click on to www.northamptonallotments.co.uk on the first page is an article about poppies called "Poppy Love".There you will find some Information all about differant types of Poppies.

Many Thanks Banana Man. I will take a trip back to my garden centre, armed with all the details in the hope I will find one.
Yours is such a lovely lemon colour and if the colour on my screen is true to life, the centre looks green. Just Beautiful!!!!
Thanks again.

 

Waco,just looked back and saw Inula.Love it too.and thanks marge.

 

Thanks Kandyfloss - very interesting

 

Loads of inula bits if you want some.

This is what I love at the moment Lillium henrii grown in very dark damp shady corner in with ferns and yes I got one - dragon wing begonia.

 

Just seen your cones shiney, it looks like a fir rather than a spruce to me.
Abies as opposed to picea.
Perhaps thats why its getting so big.

 

Fuchsia Marcus Graham

 

That's a big one too, isn't? Lovely.

 

I have grown Eva boerg and Rose of Denmark for years for hanging baskets for a couple of parks but this year the town wanted 80 baskets which I had to plant. I decided to try a few different fuchsias and out of Marcus Graham, Golden Swingtime, Swingtime, Pink Galore and Golden Marinka, Marcus Graham seems to be the best. I'll definitely use it again next year.
