Default Identity of Spanish Plant, please?

Do you mean that the Hillhouse Nursery has these plants? If so, what name
would they be under, in case I wanted to try my best with one.

Hopefully, Joan

Thanks Sacha, the pod certainly looks the same but the leaves are
rather
different. Since it was growing wild I don't think I'll try the recipe,
though!!

You might try asking on a food/cooking group, perhaps. There is a uk
one but it might not help any more than urg can. If there's a group
that discusses Spanish cooking, you might get some help there.

Its not edible, its Aruajia sericefera one of the climbing milkweeds, I
am sure Ray has it somewhere!
Most of us that grow it remove the pods or it seeds everywhere


We do have it and I didn't recognise the photo at all, have never even
thouht of eating it and hadn't heard of that name for it! It's in the big
double, I think. It's the one that catches moths by their tongues and
then lets them go a few hours later. It's a really beautiful thing, imo.
If he has a spare, do you want it or do you have it already?
