    I'll look out for that one at our local nursery. They seem to specialize in fushias as last year they literally had thousands!

    Or you could try the emailing The British Fuchsia Society..

    Going off thread for a minute so please forgive me....I know that nursery EM I really liked it when it was ALL plants sadly for the last few years it has become a little market stall type of place, pretty sad really :( but I suppose the traders help keep the place running because that green house is HUGE!Hel.xxx.

    Yes, I totally agree with you. I can't stand those carboot stalls either, but if it pays the rent, I suppose I'll have to put up with them. Its like the trend of Garden centres selling christmas stuff for 6 months of the year- I hate that too :(

    My children are going on a school trip there next week (I'm going with to help) and I'm fortunate in that my parents live quite nearby to it so I pop in regularly.

    I love the green house! My favourite has to be the clematis covered corridor into the main building- when that flowers it looks stunning [​IMG]

    Gogs, did you want one of those little 9cm plugs? I don't think that they do mail order, but I could post if thats feasible??

    *Lets hope they have them*
