    These three winter flowering Lonicera are very similar, L purpusii is a hybrid and the more evergreen, all three are nicely scented.

              My Flamingo Lily is still flowering in the kitchen & though it has lots of tiny white aphids lots of them get caught in spiders webs that are spun among the leaves. So even though they don't eat them at least they are being trapped & can't getaway.

                    Oh Ok ...I thought it was usually one of the admin team who closed and opened certain ones. :biggrin: :dbgrtmb:

                          That's good but if the old thread isn't closed then it will still be used, maybe.
                          Yes thanks guys, very much appreciated.

                              Yes, anyone can open the new threads but admin usually work hard at trying to open them each month and close the old ones. Unfortunately all of us were rather busy yesterday so thank you @NigelJ for opening this one. :blue thumb:

                              Old one is now closed and this one is now a 'sticky'. :)
