Could be Blackberry Jam?

It is a lovely dark burgundy colour, I have been trying to think what it could be. Was thinking Berry Smoothie or Midnight Rose, anyone any ideas, the marking is really pretty.

Maybe it is Karen although I cannot remember having that one. Will have a look at one and see if it is like it. thanks.

Could be Plum Pudding, that rings a bell, will wait and see what colour the flower is, coral if its Blackberry Jam and white if it is Plum Pudding, time will tell, they are very similar.

Indeed. I often have to resort to flower colour to help me decide...but I've given up on it now. I just can't keep a track on all the different varieties' names.

It makes your head ache remembering names. I pull the old age tag up every so often its a good excuse. lol. What's your excuse? lol.
Paul went for a hearing test today he is becoming more deaf as he has got older, but we had a giggle. I drove and crocheted while he had the test and the plan was to drive to a garden centre and pick up some things I need for the garden. I completely forgot that's what we were doing and set off in the wrong direction. We were about 1/2 mile down the road when he said thought we were going to the g.c. to which I had to admit I had completely forgotten. Senility has struck - although I see today they have a pill so I should be ok. lol. will only need a bucket full. lol.

lol it's obviously hereditary so there you go that is your excuse lol. have fun wandering and wondering where ever it may be. lol.

ps when I finally got to the garden centre they were rubbish and did not have what I needed. lol. ah well a nice tour around the country roads. lol.

There's nothing better than a drive in the country in spring time :) I intentionally took the long way around to Arbroath last week and it was stunning. :) I did get lost and have to do a U on the way home...but I was out in the area where all Scott's Gran's family used to farm in Victorian days. Lovely!

I totally agree its beautiful if you just get off the busy roads and take your time to look about the countryside.
I hate motorways they are so boring.

Oh give me a country lane to get 'lost' down rather than a motorway any day of the week...now what was I gong to say? Oh yes, what a good job you rescued this one, it has such a lovely rich colour. I treated my potted plants with killer early this month as I found quite a few adult weevils at the backend of autumn grrr!

they are a darned nuisance, I fed the robin with the ones I found. He was very happy with me!
