    This is going to be hard because my camera is full so i can't take a pic of it so i will describe it in detail:

    It is a climber with small but longish (about 3/4 inch) tubular flowers that grow in clusters. I was given a very small climber by a friend to grow through my passionflower and to be honest it was so dinky i tied it in wth a peice of cotton but it has shot up over 5 weeks and is now displaying the bright orange tubular flowers as i said.

    Any guesses people? I cant find it on either T&M or V M site.

    Thanks in advance :thumb:

    Well why not read the instuctions that come with your camera??? Surely its a no-brainer when you buy something new you do not understand.

    AG, is it a twiner or does it grow tendrils, thorns, leaf shape ?

    Do the flowers change colour as they age?
    All relavent stuff.:)

    Anyway, I only ever read the instructions as a last resort, its like admitting defeat:D

    Thanks to all of you who have answered my thread in a friendly manner :D

    I have only had the climber a short period of time so i'm not sure if it re-flowers yet, although the trumpet shaped flowers are quite abbundant.

    And thanks Dave I will look up the climber you mentioned and get back to you :D
