To answer a couple of your questions. I just love all plants and try to fit a few in. My main plant is fuchsias, of which I grow and hybridize. (I have details on other parts of the forum about these). I do write quite a few articles on different plants, and do talks to clubs and societies over here. I will try to find a couple of pictures, But I don't hold much hope. I live in a village a few miles outside the seaside town of Clacton on Sea. Essex, about a mile from the beach, so the climate is not too cold in winter, and not too hot in summer, usually, but we do get variations. I put out a lot of tropical and sub tropical plants in the summer, along with around 100 varieties of fuchsias, with many other plants mixed in. I will try to take and post some photo's of my garden ASAP. Anyway will close for now, as it's getting late here now and bedtime beckons. Hope to chat another time.
Regards from the other side of the pond
