Found this one sunbathing on my greenhouse yesterday, which I thought to be unusual for Azelia sp as they have tended to be found in shady places. Id'able?

My money is on Roger - what odds do I get? If I was in Shetland at this time of year, I'd be sitting in the sun too B) . I've got photos of Azelia in full sun twice this year.

It's definitely an Azelia.

Robert,


Robert, if you don't know what a Fanny looks like by now, then there is little hope...:|.Oh Fannia, yes definately a Fannia, OOPS my mistake. You've been listening to that Joke person for too long...:D.
Thanks young Sclaterscrae person and Swede for backing me up. Now which FFFFannia is it? Hic!

1. Too late I'm afraid, for that piece of advice Joke, but thanks anyway. :|
2. British toilet humour, it would appear, does not travel well.
3. So obviously an Azelia, that one would need to be under the influence to think it was a FFFFannia....(lost in translation / several too many glasses of vino collapso, and poor presentation).
4. Reminder to self...don't..something-or-other,.... again
5.....Roger and out-of-it. :D
I think I may have got away with that....phew. :P

EDIT; StephenR, In the unlikely situation that they would allow you entry to Shetland, the only sun you would see would be the sun streaming through the window of my recently vacated padded cell.
