Any chance of a view of the whole plant? here is a larger view http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f.../closeup03.jpg David @ the damp end of Swansea bay. Wider out one looks more like a hydrangea with central male anthers on the small central flower cluster surrounded by large sepals. Again a picture from further back would make it clear.

Regards, Martin Brown I know what it is Martin, the idea was to use it as a test, hence the first 2 pics posted were http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f.../closeup04.jpg and http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f.../closeup01.jpg The idea was to test people and to show that we don't really look closely at flowers. I could of course have posted a large picture with the name but that would have been pointless. David @ the showery end of Swansea Bay. |

Right. Looking at it again and the leaf pattern in the background I wonder now if it might not be a pink viburnum of some sort. I could of course have posted a large picture with the name but that would have been pointless. David @ the showery end of Swansea Bay. So it is like that University Challenge view of some object from a strange angle and gradually zooming back until it is obvious. Regards, Martin Brown |

Quite right Sacha, though I only knew it as Hydrangea macrophylla. David @ the wet end of Swansea bay |

I walked past one in a pot in the nursery today and thought "that pink colour looks just like David's photo". ;-) Btw, that new camera of yours is pretty good, eh?!! The chief reason for getting the new camera was that it has a tilting screen so useful when taking close ups high up or low down, it's great, but my old camera is still good. David |
