Neal, it's Rhodochiton atrosanguineum.

Joyous, the flowers behind with dark leaves are Dahlia Bishop's Children I grew from seed, they have been in the ground for a few years now, some of the tubers are just about pushing out of the ground, but they seem very tough, time to put more compost on top. The path goes to the top of the bank, and the Chestnut tree is near, it is a great place to view the garden from and one day I want to put a patio area there, save grass mowing too, and bed edging.

jerseyridgearts, that is a lovely atmospheric shot! Will try to warm you up.

beaker, fancy having a lily in flower now! I read your story, amazing things that happen by accident!

pmulcaire, don't worry, I have made the same mistake before.
