              I did not know that they had white flowers as well. I've only got red ones. Their seeds amuse me as they remind me of mini hand grenades!

              Thank you for sharing :)

                  My M jalapa has just produced flower buds, 3 months late. Shouldn't complain too much it has been outside in the ground for the past five or six years and also it has self seeded.

                    They are quite impressive, downside is toxicity and also from April to September you have to like the foliage.

                          Thank you @Victoria the fuchsias are in their second flush of flowers, that variety seems to do very well, it's called Eva bourg.
