Hi Grenou, Nice to see you posting, but just a quick note: you're posting below the signature separator "-- " which causes all kinds of problems up to and including many people won't see your post at all. Bottom posting is good, just make sure you delete the other person's signature first. Thanks! -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

Oh my .. (as my American online friends, in newsgroups and forums, say).
Maybe I'd better give up, I am obviously not 'doing it' right. Thankfully my gardening skills are ok, so not too much is lost ☺ Bye bye. Grenou -- "Emery Davis" wrote in message ...

Well I'm certainly not trying to encourage you to go away, on the contrary, I'd like it if everyone could see what you're posting! So, don't disappear on my account. :) -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

That looks like Sambucus 'Sutherland's Gold' supporting it. Lovely combination. I can see why you think it's that Sambucus, but it is actually Jasminum officinale 'Aureum'. The funny thing about the Ipomoea is that it germinated well from seed (in May, IIRC), but after planting out a couple of dozen plants most just sat there and then disappeared (eaten; died?). One grew feebly at the start, then got going, but didn't start flowering until mid August. The plant in the picture also grew slowly, then put on a spurt in September, twining all over the place, but there was no sign of flower buds until a couple of weeks ago, when it became smothered in them. But it still refused to flower until a few days ago. Most odd for something usually considered a rather rampant climber. I hope it will continue to flower until it gets hit by frost. -- Jeff |

Not yet, and I probably won't bother. Packets of Ipomoea tricolor 'Heavenly Blue' are usually easily obtainable and very cheap. -- Jeff |

More explanation here..... http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php I also just noticed you use Windows Live Mail to come here, just like me. As a Newsgroup reader and poster program it's pants, it does not treat posts in accordance with convention/rules, it's clunky, and Microsoft say they will not fix it. To get it to work even a bit properly, although not automatically, I had to download and use AutoHotKey and WlmQuoteFix which together do go some way to correct Microsoft's program. see... http://www.dusko-lolic.from.hr/wlmquote/ and that is the site I downloaded both from years ago so should be OK. You can insert a signature into it so that when you click the Win+9 key combination your reply is formatted correctly, including the chevrons, and a signature is automatically inserted at the bottom so all you have to do is write the reply.

If you haven't been following the thread and don't know what has been said before, then read the thread. It all makes sense to me. Are you less brainy than me?

The poster you all had a go at will now see just what this forum is like.
Get on with talking and advertising GARDENING, it is what most of you are best at, some better than others. One thing, those who don't post here but just read and comment elsewhere, all agree, this forum is a jolly good laugh sometimes ................. keep it up. Just one bit of advice which I have given before, if you don't like my posting and wish to stay within the clique, ........... don't open my posts if they send you towards a heart attack.
