I think this looks lovely but we haven't got it - yet. ;-) Charlie, do you
have that one? -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

We bought one from Charlie a couple of years ago, it's an OK white but wouldn't call it anything special. Mind you I'm into big bold colours now, must be the dull weather of late. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

I saw a pic of it in the Evison book and liked the frilly edge to the leaves but if it's a very small flower, then it's probably not right for where I'd like to grow it. I want to put it up either a yew or a Camellia, so perhaps I'd be better going for C. Marie Boisselot? One good thing about all this cool weather is that Tropaeolum speciosum, growing through a yew hedge, is doing better than it has for a couple of years. The flowers aren't small so I've been out and measured them, it's having a second flush ATM, and they are 5.5 inches tip to tip of the petals (despite the plant being moved over last winter). Not a bad size at all, look good against a dark background. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |
