These are bright pink with purple centres, but the flowers can vary from white, light pink to dark purple (all wiki). Spotted in a Beth Chatto flower gardens.

Thank you Tweact.. made a mistake there ;)
Lovely picture
Thanks Andy, and thanks Dan for that info. They would look pretty spectacular in a salad!
100% Fuschia, I have 2 in my garden. A fantastic plant and a fantastic picture Elsa :0)
By the way, the blooms are edible. They are a little bitter, I've eaten them a bunch of times at work (just to show they can be eaten), but they might be okay or look nice in a salad.
Awesome, thanks.
You're right, Fuscia.
