Looks like Escallonia rubra "macrantha".


Thanks Bob - I wondered if it might be but wasn't sure at all.


Does anyone else agree??



It could be if it were really poorly :~)



And it could easily be it after 7 pints of Bishops Nostrils or
whatever the local real ale is.


I think you will find it is Fuchsia microphylla or Fuchsia thymifolia
one of the close relatives

Or even a more common plant .. Fuchsia Lottie Hobby.
I knew I'd seen something similar.
