    Amazing! Thanks guys. I’m not up to scratch with wild flowers...lots of learning to do there!! I did find that the one who picks it will be bitten by an adder by the time the year is out! :psnp: Not looking forward to that! I have however pressed it though so I will not forget it now! :cheers:

        @wiseowl Woo, you know I said I thought your plant in this thread seemed familiar was a honeysuckle.? :scratch:

        Well I know why it looked so familiar.!! I have one at the back of my green house.! :lunapic 130165696578242 5::lunapic 130165696578242 5:
        Look... It has just started flowering too.!

                    Hi Silver surfer...I always believed them to be climbers when others have spoken about them in the past...you learn something new everyday and :thankyou: for that bit of knowledge [​IMG]
