    That is beautiful, Rich. I love those first photo. My pink Sauvolens is having a rest at the moment after it burst of blooms ... at least, I hope it's just having a rest!

    This time last year it was a seed, I planted it in August. I planted the seedling in the border in May.

    Edited to say I'm not ignoring you Walnut, I can't see the pictures due to Websense. I'll see them at home tonight.

    Wow they are fantastic!!!!!
    Mine is in a pot on the patio this year. It was lovely lush and green, then after all the wind and rain, it had turned yellow and lost most of its leaves!!!! No sign of a flower either...

    Any ideas why its turned yellow??? (I've been giving it Tomato food)

    Absolutely spectacular, guys. [​IMG] My Pink one is in full flower. (Actually had a couple of nights where I could sit on the patio and enjoy the scent!!) The flowers are just developing on the cuttings from last year.

    I see the pics now walnut, superb.

    Once I've moved house I'll be able to grow them more seriously. I still have one pod left from the pollen you sent me, but now I have my own source of pink pollen.

    Nevertheless, I was expecting someone to have a go at me for growing non-named crosses, but she tells me open pollinated crosses are acceptable, and I should register it with a name.
