    Hi everyone. I deliver and collect catalogues and see many lovely gardens on my rounds which really lift my spirits up. Today I saw a pretty white flower which was trailing all around someones house. Unfortunatly i haven't got a pic of it, does anyone know what it could be for this time of year? [​IMG]

    Hi, weekend gardener if you could give a little more information it would help ie was it trailing on the ground or on a wall, what kind of flower, shape of leaves etc. [​IMG]

    Hello, weekend gardener, and welcome to GC!

    I agree wtih stronglodon, a few clues might be helpful, big flower, little flower, did it smell? Perhaps it was a late-blooming Jasmine if you have been mild.

    Hope we all find out what you saw and enjoy the site! [​IMG]

    I went to that house where I asked you to tell me what that creeping flower was that I saw, then I remembered that I didn't give you a proper description of it, then when I saw your answers I thought silly me of course it's a jasmine. I purchased one myself back in the summer, it was in a flower pot supported by a loop wire and smelt lovely and I didn't even missed it, it must have died on me. Thanks everybody for putting me out of my misery.
