    This came up in last years lottery mix for greenhouse, it grows like this to a height of two foot, after which it becomes a twining climber.
    I've not had any flowers yet as the one plant that did climb was badly attacked by RSM.
    It has a milky sap when cut.

    Any ideas, it is quite interesting with a purple tinge to the leaves.

    Could it be one of the Hardenbergias, pete? There's a tidy few of them.

    I have got about 6 of them in my lottery mix. They grow very fast when potted on, I seem to know the leaf, but can't put a name to it.

    If you want anotherPete I will send you one. I have loads of a grass like plant which I would say was Cyperus Papyrus, but I have a named pack of seeds which I grew of cyperus and it is very similar, but not the same.

    Must go do some gardening and stop waffeling around on GC!
