Ray has propagated dozens of these and can't remember what they are!

Either
he was given one, took some cuttings from somewhere - who knows. To me,

it
looks a bit like a Clerodendron but I'm almost certainly wrong. Anyone

who
recognises it will be a star!

At first glance it does look like clereodendron splendens but there do not
seem to be the right amount of stamens sticking out. How tender is it?
(mentally working out where one could be squeezed in!)


No idea, Charlie but I'll ask Ray to send you one. And thank you for the
Rhamnus seeds. The second consignment did arrive this time, while we were
away! I don't *think* C. splendens looks quite right but it's very close.
Again, I'll check with Ray. Shame he can't remember how he got hold of it.
