    Or Geoff should put up his lovely Chilean Glory Flower ... and then we can hmmm-haaa over F ... :D

    If we get desperate, maybe we could use the common name rather than Latin? :rolleyes:

    Yes Dendy, I am going to scan it now, found it in an old album of exotics I grew years ago. It was Scindapsus then.

    Ha, I still know it as a Scindapsus now and I have one out in the Baffa (the Devil's Ivy) ... so it shows I'm a bit behind the times ... well done, Strongy! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Okay, I'm jumping in with the above-mentioned Faradaya spendida, the Glory Vine ...

    [​IMG]

    I don't have one of these but would like one as the vine is an evergreen with clusters of flowers smelling like carnations! Heaven! If anyone knows where to get one / seeds, please let me know.

    Marching right along, I'm going to do G and H ...

    Geitonoplesium cymosum, a Scrambling Lily from New Zealand

    [​IMG]

    Hardenbergia comptoniana, the Coral Pea or Wild Wisteria from New Zealand and Australia. This is a popular climber here and I am attempting to grow it but again, my seeds are from Chiltern so no picture.

    That's lovely, Geoff, very clear in colour. I've just started off Black Knight for the Spring here.
