When we moved to our new home in Essex we inherited lots of lovely plants especially roses. I love gardening and nature.

It almost looks like a type of honeysuckle to me but i'm probably way off! Very interested to know myself now too. Does it have a scent?

I've just bought this exact plant at the weekend 😀. It's a Cape figwort (Phygelius x rectus) and it looks like the same variety too - 'African Queen'. Red flowers with yellow inside. Another AGM winner too from the RHS. Hope that helps! @cjh123 @justin @teamgardentags @thedanielrichards @driftwood
