I would say thats a 3 out of 3 there Phil, i just snipped a piece of
"bushberry" and compared it with that link, i'm sure that is it - i will
have a closer look at the berries tomorrow. (didn't want to pick one as
there are only 2 or 3 there) One thing - will this be a 'prickly' bush as it
grows ??

In that "hanging" pic. the lower one is def. a petunia - but there is also a
tall (18") plant taking over the pot. Do you know that one pls ?

"yellow" I dont recall if they had red tips - they may have been yellow all
the way up, there is only these few short ones remaining now so i'll keep an
eye on them.
But the name does seem appropriate.

I'm far from a keen gardener, but with a little effort this year I had a few
results.

Thanks
