This looks a bit like a kind of lily, but is it?
Quite large with strap-like leaves, has just come into bloom (July)

This is a fuchia growing in my mother in law’s garden. She’s moving and desperately wants to have it in her new garden.Its about 6 feet tall and I haven’t been able to strike cuttings. Does anyone know the name?

I'm actually trying to identify something that I have been told was a shamrock but am having no joy. Anyway your fuschia to me looks like La Campenella bush variety (I tried to get cuttings and had no luck either).

Hope your more successful than me.

From Dave Mortiboys, Walsall Fuchsia Society, UK
You say the plant is growing outdoors by which I believe you mean permanently.
The plant is definately a Fuchsia and must be of a hardy species. I believe it is probably Beacon Rosa.
Cuttings taken from leaf tips in the spring and grown in reasonable temperature should root quite successfully and can then be grown on in gradually increasing size pots.
If you are wanting to move it now, if you carefully lift it and either pot , or preferably, replant it in a new site immediately it should survive.
Hope this helps.

Looks like a poppy

This a double flowered opium poppy; quite common but very pretty; will self seed if seed heads are not cut down

Oops to my reckoning this looks very much like Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) the garden variety Paeony mixed so I would not be too worried! unless you have some dodgy neighbours of course,lol.

Looks like a member of the poppy family

I have this poppy in my garden and some of them are single petals but most of them are like a peony flower,they take over the garden so take the heads off before they set seed and save what you want.They look lovely but start getting brown from the bottom up that's when i take mine out
