Thanks Josie, Janey and David .. they are still producing flowers.

Take semi-ripe cuttings in late summer, remove lower leaves, dip the base in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining, moist medium, covering with plastic for humidity.
However, if you are moving before then, I would take some new shoots, pulled off with a little heel, and put them as cuttings.
You could try putting some in water as they often grow roots that way too. Best of luck.

Similar flowers and leaves to Fuchsia tryphylla. Some have fuzzy leaves like this as well

I think this one is not very particular, Balcony.

Thank you Klahanie..it seems very happy.We are having a summerlike few days!

It's doing well Julia and I envy you the sunshine, We had lots of rain this March.

Too early for them here too!
In our last garden they self seeded everywhere, never needed to buy any new plants.

Lovely show of colour there. The Hyacinths have flowered well this year.

We get the large birds over here too. The Sparrowhawk, Peregrine, Red Kite, Kestrel and Buzzard going across.

Thank you. We are both birdlovers!

Thank you. I was afraid I’d cut them back too early. They’re beautiful and eye catching plants and I plan to buy more this year.

Like Hywel I also get fed up waiting around! You can't upload more than 1 photo at a time which takes ages! It's little wonder that we move to other forums! I'm on another one but still come back here - from time to time!

Is this the one that doesn't mind alkaline soil? I'm always confused between the one that won't grow unless it's in acid soil & the one that doesn't mind!

I am pleased about that Hywel. My problem is trying to do a blog and add pictures which was so slow, but my page opens and there are no other problems.

Thanks Klahanie, I enjoy your photos of the birds visiting your area too.

Thank you Rose!

it is for mine in E Yorks, they usually poke shoots up in late April.

Thank you Bushbernie.

I agree Bushbernie. Many plants I plant do not survive even one year, probably because of our cold and very wet winters or clay acidic soil .

Unfortunately they like lots of things I love Bushbernie.
They can be trained but it takes an effort....especially when young ones are born in late spring, they munch on everything (but they are so cute).

So cute. Lovely photo Linda.

It will never get better Rose.

I didn't say I was leaving, just that I'll be looking in when the page decides to open. I haven't got time to wait ages only to be told 'Oops something's wrong' ... but when it does decide to open as it should, then I'll have a look.

That's lovely to hear Rose. Robin's become so friendly don't they once they get to trust you.

We go there a lot to have a walk Bushbernie.

They're putting on a very pretty show.

Amazing!

Bright and beautiful.

Quite lovely.

So lovely.

What a gorgeous thing.

Hopefully they'll only eat the things that are meant for them.

What a beautiful spot.

Beautiful!

That is a shame Rose..
This one is fairly trapped.

A very belated Happy Birthday Karen.

Yes, I agree with Lincs. Thanks for sharing.

Mine has a mate now and hoping I get to see the babies.

I am going to have to remove mine Julia as it seems to pop up in the border anywhere and also into my neighbours garden. It's a shame because I do like it.

It is annoying Hywel isn't it, but will persevere with it for now hoping that it will get better.
I also have problems with adverts in large blocks and tried to follow your instructions, but my chrome book won't do it.
All it said was to update my chrome book, but there are no more updates on it and suggested I get a new chrome book, which I can't really afford and don't need it.
For what I need it for, it suits me.
I shall miss you on here Hywel.

Nice spring garden Rose, it's good to see things waking up :)

I'm sorry you've had difficulty with this blog.
Personally I've given up on GoY, it's more trouble than it's worth.
I will continue to look in when the page decides to open, but it's so slow and sometimes doesn't work at all, and I haven't got time to waste.

Thank you Sheila.

Thank you Seaburngirl. It’s on my to do list!

No luck with the Osteospermums here either.

Ty, the silver S, Angels Wings, I’ve been hoping will survive the winter. So far, so good. There is another one on the other side of the door. My Osteospermums never survive, and this year the Nemesia haven’t either, but they are only half hardy. Never mind, a nice trip to a garden centre will be necessary🙂

My kind of girl. :-)

Haha, yes I can imagine!

You must have perfect conditions Klahanie and en masse I bet they look beautiful.

I think you would. She makes boxy jackets and trendy tops, it's very vintage which is what she loves..☺️

It was great today to see many bees on the little Prunus. Thanks Janey, hope your snow showers will be ok in spite of the pesky pigeons. xx
