    Thank you, I like to share my sunshine. :SUNsmile: I don't know if you've looked at my Algarve Garden thread where I document things for my record ... and anyone's enjoyment if they wish. :smile:

      A clematis cutting from my neighbour, I'm assuming male and female flowers?

        I think one is a double and the other is a single, for some reason.
        I dont think Clematis have male and female flowers.

                I'm so pleased that it has done so well for you :dbgrtmb: If it produces any seeds I could use some :whistle:

                It has done better than mine (which is now toast after a night at -6°c).

                        @pete - looks stunning but going by the name best viewed from a distance.

                            I'm not sure what @pete thinks but I never picked up on anything nasty (unless you crushed the leaves).

                                Really pleased about the Kniphofia. The seeds for the original plant came from the Curator of the Denver Botanic Garden, wild collected in S. Africa. I managed to raised one plant for our new garden from the original plant too.
                                Got a lot of Salvia hians from your seed as well.
