Maybe on the new forum upgrade at some point?

Your more than welcome to a cutting Heather after it's flowered if you like? this one grows like a weed and I planned to take cuttings to even out the pot :grin:

They certainly are lovely flowers. The 5 or 6 rooted cuttings I have are the upright growers as I don't have anywhere to hang them in pots and don't have a greenhouse. The ones I do have I picked for their lovely flowers so I look forward to the day they start to display for me :)

Excellent Carl.
... and perhaps, you could start a new trend for this year - T-shirts to match the colour of the flowers. perfect!
Now where did I put my yellow, red, orange, purple T-shirts?

Maybe Tony ;) this second photo is a plant I purchased from you a few years ago.

Two of mine today slight disappointment with the first flower, I've been having problems with aphids and I think some of the horticultural soap got in the bud and caused the stigma to rot and stick...
