        @Victoria sphaeralcea is in the same family as your hibiscus but a lot smaller flowers :biggrin:
        Eucryphia is normally white flowered but this is a pinky one. Some like Nymansay can be covered in blossoms, and quite columnar

                As I remember, they take a long time to come. Though if we get a mild winter, they might! I used to grow acacia costiniana in the garden, and that regularly flowered around Christmas - but it didn't have that dealbata scent.

                  Next year I'll put them in a better site, They disappear a bit due to the Clem. Etoile Violette which it's growing amongst.

                    I just remembered @Michael Hewett . A Parthenocissus on the gable end of a house about a mile from me, just for you! I always admire it if I go that way, and after the chat about yours, I finally remembered to take the camera yesterday and get a pic.

                      That's impressive @fairygirl ! It isn't a common plant around here so thanks for showing me the photo :smile:
                      I don't think I'd want it on the side of my house though. I'll keep it in a pot and get a trellis for it to climb on, although I don't know where I'm going to place it ... but I'll find somewhere.

                          Mine is in a pot so I don't think it will get as big as if it was in the ground. I'm keeping it in the pot and if it outgrows the trellis I'm going to put it against I'll cut it back.
                          Thanks for the photo :smile:

                            Clematis stans - still a small plant, but has clusters of dainty flowers to come.
