    Hardy fuchsia?

    Definitely mild and very sheltered in that particular spot too, thanks to the porch and the camelia. I am now pondering a dual level planter... scheming, I think is the best description.

    How do you tell a tic from a small spider?

    I presume it was a slimey one. :biggrin:If the dog or cat is up to date with the spot on treatment the ticks should just fall off. I don't think all spot ons kill ticks though.

    Is this some sort of celandine?

    You do get variation in foliage of celandine, I found one a couple of years ago with very dark leaves.
