I've just popped out to the Nursery and this climber is growing on
pillars along the path. The scent is astonishing! It always amazes and
delights me that such wonderful smells come from such little flowers!

I think its one of the best in terms of flower power, I have a few
promising seedlings on trial where I crossed it with the normal
coloured one but its a few years before you know how much they are
going to flower. I was trying to get another cream/white which could
then be grown in company with the original there by getting both plants
to fruit.

I wonder if you might get a pinkish colour out of that, too, Charlie -
very pretty and very interesting. It's such a good plant, smells
delicious and flowers for a long time. I've seen fruits on the
chocolate coloured one we have but not on the alba. That Lapageria you
pollinated for Ray has flowered well, especially last year and produced
several seed pods. It's the most lovely ivory colour just touched
lightly with pink. Did I tell you, btw, that Ray has a pink
Hardenbergia which he's growing on for cuttings?
