Hello, a few years ago i was given some cuttings of a plant. The first
year they grew a little,but no flowers.
In winter the plant dies back and goes brown but this year has grown
massive, got lots of tiny purple blue coloured buds but the buds are
sort of falling from their shells to the floor and not flowering. I
noticed the bees enjoy the plants and seem to go for the bud but as i
say the buds just drop out of the shell they are in.
The buds are tiny and the plant has grown large this year, about 1
metre, last year was about 30cm but again it didn't flower.
I am not sure what plant it is, and why it won't flower. I got it from a
relative who can't remember giving it me as she is elderly but i
remember she had some in pots and it had lots of blue purple coloured
flowers. She no longer has it.
Can anybody help!
Somehow I don't think we will ever see a picture of any part of the plant
This reminds me of an email some joker sent us a few weeks ago asking
for ID of a lovely houseplant which had flowers that fell off quickly!
We asked for a description of colour, type of flower/leaf etc. plus a
photo. Needless to say we didn't hear further! What a surprise that
wasn't! Some people lead very sad little lives!
