    They are pink and white blossoms LoL, and the leaves are a beautiful purple colour,Mrs Pips favourite thing in the garden.

    The two pots have been emptied and both the acer and rhodendron are now in the ground. Both have settled in but I don`t think I will get many rhoddie blooms this year as it was probably shocked when I transplanted it. There are only a handful of buds on it at the moment and I don`t think it will look its best until next spring :(

            Everyone thinks our houses are back to front because the road and garage are at the back. :confused:

              Makes a change Pete, the owner used to have a 'tat' shop in town. Some weeks he flew a skull and crossbones, some weeks it was a Confederate flag. :rolleyes: It's been up for sale for nearly a year!!
