            Pretty sure they didn`t go red last year, it`s first year, will keep a close eye on them.

            Forgotten the name of this one but if anyone has any suggestions I'll know it when I hear it. I think it's a woman's name.

                  Hi Beckie,

                  I like your " Together Forever " , although it's a two-tone one the colour change is so subtle. The shape of the flower reminds me of a Camellia.
