Aw, thank you all. Yes it did take a little time Rach, I went out about 11pm for the usual slug hunt then took the pictures.

Nice pictures..
Now, that's interesting. The one you call Himalayan Honeysuckle looks for all the world like something we call Flowering Nutmeg.
I wonder if they are one and the same....?

Yes one and the same, Nigel. Leycesteria formosa is it's proper name but also called Flowering nutmeg, Pheasant Berry and Himalayan nutmeg amongst other things  :)
