Phygelius capensis
It was almost worth jarring my bad knee for this shot!
They survive and thrive in our garden but it is sheltered and in a part of England that does not usually get hard winters. It may not thrive in places that get hard winters though

A shot definitely worthy of some pain....not too much pain though I hope!! :)

THanks. Glad you like it. I hurt my knee getting this shot sadly. Luckily the tendon is okay
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Jams. Are they frost resistant?

ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is that? I have never heard of it. But it is a lovely photo. I'll bet you are furious at not being able to tend your garden.
