Bists. Please do not worry. I will tell you why. WF posted me two small seedlings which are quickly turning into largish plants. I do understand that you are very busy and probably very tired after all the work you are undertaking. One of these plants has very pink veins in the leaves, so I suppose the flowers will be darker than those on the other plant.

Lupins are a good example, the stems can range from pale green to dark purple.

Right, so the 2 my mother has have pinky/red stems what type are these likely to be? (or can you really only tell when they are bigger??) Also the leaf has an elongated point.
Mine are still stumpy so you cannot really tell.

You have nothing to compare them with Floydie. I have two which are quite different so it is quite obvious. This works with loads of plants, but like WF pointed out, lupins are a good example.

If the babies were cuttings from the parent plant, they would be exactly the same. Seeds are all slightly different.

Now that my two plants are fairly large and look like posh sycamores, should I keep them in the greenhouse, the conservatory/porch or in the garden to give a distinguished look. I am turning my greenhouse shelves out and cleaning it to plant the tomatoes in place.

The ones in the conservatory are a lot larger but that is because they get watered, the ones in the garden have to fend for themselves.
