Thank u Des - I'm aware it MAY be a fuschia. If it is then I was hoping
someone could tell me what variety and name

Hi Clive: that is hard given the blurry images (phone camera?). To
get a fuchsia expert to tell the variety it would help to see leaves
and flowers in focus closeup. There are half a dozen species of
Fuchsia in common cultivation plus what may be hundreds of cultivars
and despite my smart comments, I do not know any (well I know 2 or 3)
of them. Best of luck in your search

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

Does anyone else agree??

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

I agree it looks like it. But I found something else (or this sweet
1998 Bannyuls Grand Crue is giving me hallucinations ...) is that a
cat's tail in the pot behind it on the first picture?

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

Sorry
I think I posted my reply through Reply to author I hope it wasn't a
rude intrusion into your private email Clive. I'm not an internet buff
and make these mistakes now and again. So I will correct myself now.

I think it is an Halleria elliptica, the wild fushia. I'm pretty sure
you will find it is an Halleria but not 100 per cent sure it is an
elliptica. It is native to the south-western cape, South Africa.

No Helene its not a cats tail. No feline would survive long in my garden!!
It's a spent flowerhead of a lovely clematis, whose name escapes me (until I
get home tonight and study the label), which has delightful bell shaped
yellow flowers, growing up the obelisk behind the pots.

Thanks everyone for your help & suggestions.
Having studied the pics I think I'll run with Dave Hill's suggestions of
Fuschia microphylla or thymifolia.

Possibly fuchsia microphylla or neapolitianum? Lovely plant, very hardy
in my garden and well behaved .Flowers in winter here.
