Post by: gardenqueen on August 07, 2006, 23:20:42


Nice surprise to find this fuschia in amongst some blue/red fuschias purchased from B&Q! Can anyone identify it for me please?

Had to remove huge pic, but Roy has kindly reduced the size below! Thanks Roy.  ;D

Sorry about the size of the pic, I don't know how to reduce it! By the way it's the flower in the middle that looks like the colours of a stick of peppermint rock!

I have just had a look in my RHS book
and the closest I can match is
'Leonora' but it is only a guess
as I'm slightly colour blind ;D

Here's a link, see if you can spot it amongst these. ;D

Thank you for the link Roy, can't spot it, but one without an image could be it-Peppermint Stick! I said it looks like a stick of rock!  ;D Will google later for the name.
