Lovely colour for certain. Mine died this year for no good reason that I can think of...alas...

That's sad Mark. I didn't know they grew in the UK.

Yes I have a walled garden which keeps a slightly warmer environment. It has been thriving for several years. But there are a couple of bushes in that area that have gone too....

Being an Australian native and growing in the UK just shows how tough and adaptable they are.

Thanks guys. You may have noticed tat I do enjoy photographing a bit of the local flora. I think exposure is the key to a decent image, especially with the red channel, which is so easy to blow out.
