    That nemesia is a good plant strongy, is it new?
    The fuschia is a good one as well.

    In the nemesia pic there is a plant at the back with a pinate leaf, a bit like colutea.
    What is it? only it looks just like a plant roders was trying to ID in LOLs delonix thread, under 'trees'.

    Pete, beleive it or not I actually bought at a nursery as it was new to me. It is a new 'patio/container plant labelled as Sunsatia, but is of Nemesia origin coming in all 'flavours'. I had to Google it when I got it.
    Yes the plant at the back is the Collutea M. Copper Beauty I put up recently.

    The Fuchsia is a beauty but not as easy to grow as say Thalia or Koralle and is a b**ger to root cuttings from, the whiter parts are prone to scorch in bright sunlight.

    Kryssy, the Begonias were grown at work and come in plugs(in case you haven't realised or looked at my profile I run the Parks nursery here in Weymouth so I 'grow my own' at work), and I do not keep them over winter either as the resulting plants the following year can be very erratic, and as we grow thousands they need to be uniform in size.

    Wow Strongy - talk about take your work home - you lucky devil. I remember now (my dodgy relatives live in Weymouth).

    Waco - your garden certainly lives up to your name. Are all your plants so out of this world? I've never seen anything like those before. Smashing stuff.

    And Roders, Teddy Bear reminds me of a great big soft powder puff - I suppose that's why it got its name.

    I'm afraid my little offerings are very run of the mill - some I don't know the names - of course.

    Anyway, here goes.....

    Hotel Buddleja is now open for business:
