Which shrub to plant in this situation...?

Flowers we don't like?
/competition for flowers. 'Oh', I said in ringing tones, 'It's just a show of paper flowers!' At this point my friend clapped a hand over my mouth and dragged me out of the hall; it was an exhibition by very serious Begonia growers. I have to admit I don't much like them by artjak

POSITIVE and NEGATIVE
really good idea for a thread. It could help us all. I ordered plug plants (pelargoniums and trailing begonias) from Jersey Plants last year. They were very small and didn't expect them to flower to flower early but they put up a good show and I've got by Brumbull
