Sacha asked what the flowers were like.
Well here are 2 pictures of the flowers taken over the weekend

It is standing at around 5ft now, but is close planted.


Did you breed it yourself David and are the flowers really a clear solid
pink as in the photos?


I would describe it as between lilac pink and lavender pink, (A
blueish pink).
Get a different colour on each of my moniters so not easy to get a
definate colour
This may be closer

Orchid Pink then. :-)
Nice looking plant.
