Many thanks, Charlie. I would never have found that in a million years. It's
good to know it's such a pretty flower and available in the UK. I don't
think one would have a hope of surviving in my part of Scotland, though. I
could almost be tempted back to the costa Brava in summer to see it, or
maybe not :-)

I apologise for getting it wrong as usual. I've never tried using a
picture
before, only logged onto the newsgroup today after a Christmas holiday
and
so missed the charter instructions. I don't have a web site so I've
posted
the image at the URL below. At least I hope I've done it right.

PS Sorry JTM, I got even more wrong by replying to you previously and not
the group.

Hmm. Only a couple of days since the 'charter' was sent out
for:- Newsgroups: uk.rec.gardening outlining what to do
about pictures

Joan, the plant is Aruajia sericefera, it is an evergreen climber in the
milkweed family and those fruits contain many silky seeds. Flowers are in
late summer and about 1" across pink and white with a good scent.
Can be damaged outside in the UK so needs protecting.
(Oh and the whole plant is toxic!)
