    I think I've Been Set Up!!

    A few weeks ago i went to a little local garden centre for compost and plants for a hanging basket - the nice owner chatted away and suggested i used Rhodochiton Purple Bells as a trailing plant, describing the flower as an upside down candle!

    Thought nothing of it until the other day when my friend was visiting with her kids, and they pointed out that the flowers looked like "winkies"!

    All i can say is thank goodness that the baskets are in the back garden as the neighbours would be talking lol!

                They are pretty easy to grow from seed too, well I managed it a few years ago, and they flower for ages

                        Glad I gave everyone a bit of a giggle!!

                        It really is a lovely flower when it matures - just hilarious before it gets to that stage!
