            Always amazes me Stephen how mild it is on the Wirral.

              Partly due to being in the Cheshire Gap, I suppose, JWK.:dunno::snorky:

                I'd say it's more likely that it's because the Wirral is a peninsular surrounded by warming water on three sides.

                  Is that anything similar to the Cumberland Gap?

                    Lovely photos as always Stephen. Thanks for sharing.

                    @martin-f I think that flower is a abutilon megapotamicum ... had one for years but sadly it died and haven't seen one here since.

                        Unfortunately since Mrs Strongy's aunt passed on last year we have no ties with the Wirral any more but have pleasant memories of many visits to Ness. It always surprised me what we found growing there.Thanks for reminding me Stephen.:smile:

                          Thank you Victoria, mines only a small plant in a sheltered position by the side of the greenhouse,

                          I do hope it continues to grow, lovely little flowers.
