Such a pretty plant. I've planted a second one to 'drape' over the bank.

Yes, me too. Never heard of this before, it's very pretty. What a lovely clear shade of pink.

The second one is just opening up - it looks paler to me. I thought they'd be the same. Oh well. It'll still be pretty, I'm sure!

Is it quite a rare plant B? It looks like a kind of Cytisus with pink flowers and a much nicer habit...ah, just noticed cytisus is at the end of the name, it must be a hybrid?

I don't think it's widely available, but not rare. Yes, you're right about it being a hybrid. It is in the RHS book.

It's a very lovely plant...you have so many plants in the garden B. Are they all on your garden pages yet...I think most of mine are now. I had a little celebration with myself this week as I went on to the seventh page!

Thanks, Sbg - I forgot to take a photo of the other one, the new one. I'm sure it's a paler pink, but it's very pretty anyway. :-)
