As you say, a great plant. Apparently, the true C. radicans is rather too tender for the UK, and most of France, but that is merely picked up from books. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Since you like them, however, you'll probably just get a love bite! :~)) Thankfully, we neither of us were bitten by my pet Tarantulas. They were handled with great respect.

I like Spiders!!! We have some here that look like some of the Oz ones but I don't think they bite! We like spiders too, which is just as well, since over the last few days, they seem to be having a competition as to who/which can abseil fastest from ceiling! |

It flowered very well this year, as did the Petrea volubilis but it does have the advantage of glass. Yes. It is in our warmest, south-facing, corner - and I cover it with a plastic (double glazed!) pyramid in the winter. I'm still amazed at what can survive outside in winter and yes, I know you cosset it a bit but even so......! I imagine it's sharply drained so doesn't have wet, cold roots all winter. Since my soil is 60% sand, no. Yes, it gets wet there, but it never waterlogs. The cover was intended to keep it a bit drier than the rest of the garden. You have heard it before, but I succeeded with Passiflora incarnata only after planting it in the rain shadow of the eaves. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I've been surrounded by spiders in the garden today, as I've been doing some serious tidying up. Lots of abseiling :~) Spider |

Judith oh blow!!!! I forgot to attach the pics! http://i29.tinypic.com/2e5rrjc.jpght...m/1442peh.jpgh... I love the gorgeous soppy dog and the way she looks at you. She clearly adores you. It's nice to see a picture of you, too. What a lovely lady. Alas, people always get most upset when viewing pictures of spiders. Does that get me off your rogues gallery? :~) I do admire your datura. I'd love to grow one, but I have a daffy cat who thinks she's a caterpillar ... chomp .. chomp :~( I recognised the Campsis, but couldn't come up with the species name. Most frustrating. It's a beautiful vine. My sort of colour, too. Thanks for sharing your pics. Spider I like Spiders!!! *We have some here that look like some of the Oz ones but I don't think they bite! Depends how big they are and how powerful their chelicerae (the appendices that drive the fangs). *My Richard has been bitten by UK spiders twice, once Tegenaria gigantea, the other time it was Amaurobius ferox (where ferox means fierce!). *Since you like them, however, you'll probably just get a love bite! :~)) * Thankfully, we neither of us were bitten by my pet Tarantulas. *They were handled with great respect. *I don't keep them now, so my office/library has turned back into a normal room. *Thank you for youyr sweet comments and can you tell that Martin that he should have looked at my later post!!!! *p.s. if you want seeds of the Datura, email me, you will be very welcome to several hundred. Judith Ooh .. generosity itself! *Thank you, Judith. :~) * I'm tempted to try .. though not several hundred, thank you! *Perhaps I could persuade Panther to be sensible. *It's a long shot; she's into narcotics already! :~)) Spider Giggle! I am giggling a lot tonight! If you want seeds, you know my Addy, it's valid. Judith |

I can see at least 3 with weeny bodies, like those Huntsman things, long legs. They don't kill me, at least I think they don't, as they seem to walk over me when I am sitting down. |
