ooooh Chris this is absolutely stunning how did you get it to be so perfect? i had a large on of these in my last garden, and it always got pecked at by the birds - never looked like this! and you have really captured it well.

I have to admit my husband took this photo. For some reason the birds here don't go for these plants. I think they are too busy feasting on cherries, redcurrants etc.

What a blast of colour ! Fantastic. :-)

Wonderful photo. Talking of birds and red hot pokers - a couple of years ago we had a mallard nest in the middle of ours. One day we returned home and found the newly hatched brood chasing mum around the garden!
