Hi everyone,
just to tell you that I `ve been to Sandringham flower show today,thankfully the rain held off it was a little cloudy no sunshine till late afternoon, but a good time was had by all,I purchased a navy blue Agapanthus and a Newbiscus which is a hibiscus but with xxxl flowers in a very pretty pink and a floor standing metal stand for trailing plants like fuchsia`s, so guess who`s busy planting tomorrow?

Sounds like a lovely day Numbty! I'd love to see some pics of the 'Newbiscus' it sounds really lovely...even if the name sounds daft! Poor thing! Oh! and a pic of the navy blue agapanthus as well! We don't ask for much!! But only if it's not too much trouble! Thank you! :0)

Hi Libet,
certainly i will,been busy today so i`ll take some pictures tomorrow ok.the newbiscus flowers are lovely but they only last a day pretty though and plentiful so the label says anyway we shall see!

I know this is a few months on Numbty - but I bought one of those Newbiscus at a show I went to yesterday. I posted a picture of it on my blog 'the kent autumn show'. Is it the same as yours? It certainly sounds it from your description. The label on mine also says it is winter hardy - so that's a bonus!
