Cape Figwort - "Salmon Leap"

I've had these in my garden for years, but this year they seem to have had a growth spurt and they're trying to take over the whole space, so I needed to cut them back. It's only because I took some photos of them that I decided to find out what they were :-))

These were photographed indoors under natural light from a window and you can find another image in the PiP if you are inclined to look.

Phygelius capensis
Fuscia family
Just limit the invasion as they are resilient and apparently enjoying the weather you have been having.

Thanks for the information Isabel.........I should have know the were in the same family as Fuscias as I have some of them in the garden too!

I'll keep an eye on them and cut back more if needed.

Very artistically presented Keith. The colours against the bankground work really well.
