Fuchsia?

Good guess!

If we ever get a photo we'll find out if it was a good guess - or not!

Weigela florida? Phygelius? Crinodendrum hookeranium (though the flowers are red)?

Weigela was the other one that came to my mind Bamboo, but its flowers are a bit more flared than bell-shaped to my mind.
How are you on guessing the shape drawn on this card I'm holding? ;-)
20 Feb, 2011
Well, depends what's meant by bell really doesn't it - often used as a general term describing everything from Pieris japonica flowers through to Weigela. It's a triangle, lol!
21 Feb, 2011
Well, I was going to accept whatever shape you suggested, but actually it's two wavy lines. :-( We're not psychic after all, Bamboo.. Double :-((
And I thought we had so much in common!

Maybe Pieris japonica (as Bamboo mentioned) "Valley Valentine"?
Mine's flowering at the moment.

Well, Beattie, we probably have a similar mindset and the same information rather than having psychic abilities!

Oh well, no new career then!
LOL

It would be nice if Poppylove would come back with more details and a photo...
22 Feb, 2011
When does it flower? The question above simply does not give us enough info to i.d. a photo would be wonderful!
