Default Holboellia fruits

My son and daughter in law are visiting us and have brought with them from
Jersey a couple of Holboellia fruits. Ray had learned from their gardener
that he was just chucking them away! These large pink 'sausages' have
given us some lovely black seeds that Ray has rinsed of their pulp and will
be planting this morning. Fingers crossed!
These plants have never fruited with us, not even the one growing in one of
the glasshouses, so we're quite excited to see these - what an extraordinary
difference that slightly milder climate makes to gardening!
