This is another plant given to Ray some time ago and he'd like to have
the
name of it if anyone can help, please. *It's a really wonderful Abuti
lon -
a gorgeous clear red and very strong growing. *In the larger mass pic
ture,
it's right up to the greenhouse roof. *The leaves can be seen fairly
well
I think and are a darkish green.

I'm no expert but are you sure it's not a Hibiscus?
R.

It is Abutilon, I had one the same colour when I lived in England.
Unfortunately; it was given to me by a former colleague who has no
idea of it's origin.

Charlie and Liz Pridham have seen it and think it might be Ashford Red
but I think what I'll do tomorrow i take a leaf, scan it in and see
what Stewart and others think of it. It's such a vigorous plant in
the greenhouse and such a wonderful colour, we'd really love to pin
down its name.
