This is a long shot but I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can help...

A few weeks back I was travelling past the junction of Wreakes Lane and Gosforth Lane in Dronfield and noticed a beautiful shrub with hundreds of red flowers. It was in quite a large contained and the plant itself was about 3 feet high.

I want to know what the plant is and how I can get hold of it

I did go past the other day and the plant has been removed

Can anyone help

Thanks

Nope its not that one.

The flowers were small and red and it had heart shaped leaves which were kind of dark red in colour....if that helps?

Do you have a pic? Could'nt tell you without a pic. In fact if it's Dronfield, have you tried looking round Green leaf nursery, they are sure to have one.

begonia panorama scarlett
