BTW, Charlie, that white Cobea PH gave you and us, is now roaring up one
of
our trees but no signs of flowering yet. It must be well over 25' high
but
we think it's too shady so we're going to try a new one in a different
spot
next year. But the vigour of the growth it truly astounding.


I was about to try one out side, so I will aim for sunny (not that that is
hard in this garden!) but my original plant is not flowering yet in the
conservatory and as I met her on Sunday at the Tavistock NCCPG sale I can
tell hers is not yet in flower either. I would have never considered Cobaea
for outdoor planting if it had not been for PH but it seems remarkably
tough.

Well, it goes mad in parts of France and Italy so if it's ever going to
flower in UK, this has to be the year for it! Glad to hear ours isn't
lagging behind, though.
