	I wish i could remember the name of the plant i am referring to. Its on the tip of my tongue but i dont think it matters. Anyway...........i have this plant. Its very bushy, about three feet high and well established as i have had it for years. It has always produced very pale (almost white) pink flowers.........but to my surprise, last year it produced one very deep pink flower. The same has happened this year and i would love to know how that happened!! Thankyou..........Holly Titmarsh!

	Now then, now then Arthur. All this thigh slapping in this heat. Are you appearing in Panto ?? Robin's gardening knowledge could be put on the back of a postage stamp. He's no Monty Don, you know. He's more into birds. I digress. Well, this plant of yours, is it a plant or is it a shrub. What is the leaf like, and what is the flower like. It's a pity you can't draw a picture on here. Merlin will be on, in a little while, if he is let out of the potting shed, and may be able to advise you. I need to speak with him as I have trouble with me water, and he may be able to advise. Just a thought, is it a Peony. Julia Dimnott

	I think I know the answer Holly. I suspect that this plant is a male member of it's species. As you have not spoken to this poor lonely plant for such a long time then he is obviously trying to attract your attention and win back your affections in the only way that the male gender knows how. He is desperate for you to take notice of him. Why not go and whisper sweet nothings into his shell-like petals and treat him to a quick dose of phostrogen. Then who knows what he might produce for you next year ! Robin Flowerdew

	I am sure that would bring a smile to his anthers Holly. But I wasn't suggesting impregnation of any kind. A quick splash n dash around his roots should be more than sufficient.

	Well established plant but only 3ft high - doesn't sound like a camellia to me - mine is about 10 years old and 6-7 ft high.

	Chris Babes, have you looked at the picture. I have even looked at it through a magnifying glass, and it still makes me think of a Camellia. LOL Julia in Derbyshire PS. Just having a brain wave, will have to give it abit more thought, and come back
