Did all three pots turn out to be the same colour, Tel? I rather like it - sort of orange-y gold.

All 3 pots turned out to be the same colour, its a good job i do not colour coordinate the plants. If there is a space plant it, kind of gardener. ;D

We bought 2 fuchsia Tom Thumb, before they came into flower. These plants are not Tom Thumb, to my knowledge.

I lost all my fuschias last winter, because I wasn't able to look after them.

I'm not 'into' them in a big way, but I do like some around for containers. My hardy ones are still blooming happily in the garden, though.

I had an e-mail from Crocus, with an offer on bulbs. I realised that I had forgotten to order Allium sphaerocephalon with my Parker's order, so I sent off for them. I get 50 + 25 free ones for £5.95, and I also ordered a pack of Narcissus 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation' as Parker's don't stock them. They should arrive either today or tomorrow.c

Parker's always take ages to send out their bulbs at this time of year, so I'll have to wait patiently for them.

They didn't deliver this far north till fairly recently, I ordered some REMs favourite tulips and they were here within 4 days.

(small white flowers) that I don't know. It's in flower, so I'll take a photo later.

Silene maritima is white and the most likely one to be sold in a non-specialist outlet.

I had to google it, as the label only says 'Silene Starry Dreams'. I tried taking photos, but the flowers are very tiny and the photos weren't very good. It's very pretty.
