    I have a cycad exacly like that one Dee, which John sent me.

    Trouble is I cant remember the name, and as usual, I thought I would, so it didn't get a label.

    As to the wisteria, surely thats one of the sesbania seeds/plants that LoL was giving away last year.:)

    Nice pic roders.

    Gotta go and lie down now, all this chat is wearing me out.:D

    Common name scarlet wisteria but not really a wisteria.


    Anyway, these were sent to me by John last year.

    Judge for yourself if they are bigger than yours.

    Yes, I remember yours from last year, roders .... I couldn't tell how to tell a male from a female I remember .... :eek:

    The tall thing in the centre LoL is a broom handle.:D

    The plant growing next to it looks like a wisteria that has been trained as a standard.
    There is one that they do this to a lot I think, but cant think of the name right now.

    By the way, wished I'd had a few of those sesbania seeds now, havn't got any left in the pocket of an old jumper or somewhere have you?:D

    Are you sure Dee.

    The leaves look very different to your sesbania.
    They are pointed, yours are rounded.

    Broom handle .... doh!

    Cutie, you are not listening to pete .... the tall thing in the middle is a Wisteria ... possibly a Scarlet Wisteria .... nothing to do with me. :D

    On the other hnd, I have to take responsibility for the Sesbania .... I am the Mother of that creature. :eek: Yes, pete, I have more and they will wing they way to you in the not too distant future. :thumb:
