I wonder if anyone can help. From a local garden group I have purchased
a 'Ribes Gordianum'. It looks like an ordinary flowering currant,
except that the flowers are pretty peach and gold coloured. I have
trawled the net looking for a bit more info on size etc, and cannot
find a mention! Does anyone know of it?
thanks
