3 gorg red buds on there way with 10+ more on there way. Been looking for this colour for ages and there they was in the sale at Morleys in Essex. £2.50. Bargain

Oh yes. I'm thinking its a double because of the size of the buds. Also it was with the double whites. Gina actually spotted it at the back as she knew I was after one!

Oh I do hope so. Was like a pig in muck when Gina spotted this at the back of the double white hollyhocks. Only £2.50 aswell. I'd happily paid full money for it but wasn't going to tell them that! lol

Yes i've heard that Keith. Hopefully will be able to keep an eye on it. Hopefully there is a treatment you can use to avoid this happening! Going to speak to my local nursery at the weekend!
