Help please!

It's called Gaura. You can get white ones aswell.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks, Hywel, Joan will be very pleased. I'll pop up the road now and let her know :)

Oooh, I thought Gaura, before I saw Hywel's answer....
.... so I'm pleased I got it right. Lol.
I hope your neighbour does well at the show.
Please let us know on this thread how she gets on...:o)

I will, TT, but goodness knows how she plans to get it there - it's in a large pot and she's not too nimble footed at the best of times. I will have to make discreet enquiries as she is a very independent lady, bless her :)

Sounds like she needs a set of wheels under her garden exhibit :o)

Or someone's else's arms and legs, TT! I will see if she needs help with transporting it - it might fit on my trike :)

Oh, a pic of that would be good :o)
She might win a huge trophy, and then that will also need to fit on the trike for the return trip. Lol.

i have this but didnt know the name..........

Oh, TT, I can't take pictures, and cycle - I'd end up in a ditch (again!)

Excuses, excuses...
... ask the tortoises to take the pics. Lol.

After all that, Joan has decided not to take the plant - she is doing some baking instead!! As soon as I mentioned the name she remembered it (!). Apparently it used to be a quite large plant in her garden and she cut it back and thought she had killed it. She stuck a little piece in the pot and promptly forgot all about it until it sprouted earlier this year, bless her. She has told me to take cuttings whenever I want. I presume it will be better to do this when it has finished flowering?
