No idea. I haven't asked them but to be honest, even they have their
limitations as our unknown Lonicera shows. And we have a Passiflora which
David is as sure as can be is the 'lost' P. John Innes but another expert
disagrees. Ditto another Passiflora we have. It's a complex matter if you
go into it in depth as the current thread discussing taxonomy shows.
Personally, I'm pinning my hopes on the owners of the house in Salcombe
remembering where they got it and if possible, the name. They are immensely
keen gardeners and buy plants from all over the place, so my hopes may have
to go unfulfilled! I know they had it in their old house so my guess is
that they might have had it for 12 or 15 years.
I'll send the photos to RHS but like the other nurseries, I think ID from a
photo is going to be terribly difficult. OTOH, once we have some slightly
more mature plants, we could send one up to them and let them trial it.
Tim Longville is probably going to do an article on this Salcombe garden, so
he might be able to shed some light on the matter.



This will sound stupid probably Sacha but might Jekka McVicar know?

No, it's not stupid. And coincidence strikes again, because the person who
brought us the Hermodactylus tuberosa is a friend of hers. Next time she's
here I'll ask her to talk to JMcV about it.

You could do it yourself. She doesn't bite. The telephone number is on
the web-site.
