    The nearest I could get to it myself Lady was,Microphylla Rosea.
    The Lady customer said it was very easy to take cuttings from so I took a half dozen.:) It's hardy too.

    Paladin that fuchsia looks very like Lottie Hobby. It's a great favourite of mine and is certainly hardy.:)

    Thank you all...I will pass on your kind words.:)
    He's still in and hopes to come home tomorrow if the Doc agrees. We understand from his cousin,who is a nurse there,that his notes say the op was very big and the repair work was very extensive..Still, at least he's a fighter:pala:

    Thinking of him Pal, I'm sure he will pull through, ops are no fun, I've had a few.
    Wish him the best from me and 'In House Advisor'.
