When does it flower? The question above simply does not give us enough info to i.d. a photo would be wonderful!

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? ;-)

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!

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
