Okayt what do you do if you wake up to find Charlie Dimmock and Deep Purple hanging around your picnic table?
No you don't throw another shrimp on the barbie, you invite Alice Hoffman, the Dollar Princess and the Pink Marshmallow over to join them - at least that is what Jiurie did.
of course you can see the photos already so there is no way I can build up the suspense or try to play this out any longer - they are, of course, all fuchsias and this is our table right this weekend (picture courtesy of Jiurie) just before it began to rain all day today.

Well after a week of labiate leaves - more pictures of green nettley things didn't appeal to me. I've got a few more posts about labiates but enough about foliage and smells, let's break up the visuals (I thought) with some colour on Display (the name of the variety below)- shocking pink, deep blues, vibrant reds - so it has to be some fuchsias ro bring colour into a wet weekend.
A wet weekend and all the world in a raindrop... albeit it a slightly fuzzy raindrop.
