Tonight I’m going to show you a standard Fuchsia I have growing in the conservatory, can anyone see anything a bit unusual about it?

A closer look at the flowers.

COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING
Merle It’s not like me to be so speedy. I’ve seen a lot of film stars not weathered half so well!
Weaver Of Grass Hope the carpet went down okay, hopefully you will get a couple of days nice weather now as apparently we’re having another two day summer this week.
Jeanette I did just that, I watched the V8 Supercar race from Sandown, I think it was from a couple of weeks ago. We get it a week late here and then I recorded it so that’s why I was a bit slow at watching it. It was a good race except those darn Holden’s won LOL!
