                But the passionflower still has over twenty flowers on it and over a hundred buds.

                  Things are slowing down now . I have composted all my other petunias , but the Petunia Explorer F1 , grown from seed , from a Japanese company is still going strong. Dahlias are still doing OK , and the cup and saucer vine Cobaea Scandens has lots of flowers on it now the thing is huge now ! A nice vine , looks good and can cover a lot of area.

                        The Ricinus, the Butia and Brahia all look good and your Sango Kaku has more colour than mine.:dbgrtmb:
                        Let's hope the wind isn't as bad as they say it will be.
