Sorry, Janet, I couldn't see your pics. Suspect you forgot the link,
or is it among the dalmation info?



I could have sworn I had included the link, sorry Spider

Thanks, Janet. That really is a lovely-looking shrub; I like the
arching growth, but especially that it's smothered with berries.

I don't think I've ever grown B.wilsoniae, but I wouldn't mind growing
that one, but I would be worried about ending up with a less attractive
clone.

Years ago, having admired B. stenophylla in other gardens, I grew it but
found that, once established, it started to sucker and take over. It
took me ages to dig all of it out.
