    I'll see about getting some seed perhaps on Monday, whis4ey. I also have some Albizia spare.

    LOL . Its only flowered for me once after a few years - and sadly did not set seed that time. I have hopes that the dryer, more sheltered spot will let it overwinter this time and flower either this or next year - and my late Florida friend, sent me another cutting - which survived transit - which I'll keep in the greenhouse for insurance.

    Evening, strongy.

    Two more in the next couple of days, you say? Have I told you lately I'm not very fond of you? Oh, was that only yesterday! Yes, I think several times ... I've got my little black book of you guys now ... you, pete, roders ...! :rolleyes: I'll soldier on though in my own little way ... Sitting, Waiting, Wishing ... that's a song by Jack Johnson, by the way! [​IMG]

    I have nada! :(

    Guess I'm just not "in the know" strongy, like you are! [​IMG]

    whis4ey, I'm off early tomorrow seed appropriating ... hopefully they haven't all been blown away in the wind like my Jacarandas ... the house is full of seeds ... :eek: I find them popping up all around the garden. PM or e-mail your details.

    whis4ey ... seeds are winging their way to you. Just to clarify something, it's the Sesbania and various others I've sent, not the Delonix, as that was a seed given to me.

    Well, I haven't done an update as the Delonix decided to stop growing up and is growing out instead in a strange manner ...

    [​IMG]

    ... and I now have two of the unknown climbers (any ID from the leaves? ...

    [​IMG]

    Unfortunately my Erythrina seems to be failing now so I didn't photograph the poor thing for fear I'd give it a personality complex. :(

    My delonix has almost stopped growing as well LOL, but then I have an excuse,... we've not seen much sunshine here for a couple of weeks now. :D
    They are not growing out as such, its the foliage changing to more adult type, I think the right terms are, its changing from pinate to bi-pinate.
    Mt erythrina is doing well at the mo, but my climbers have not germinated yet.

    Oh, pete, I see you have a multi-stemmed (?) stem forming as well. How odd! Yours seems now more advanced than mine but I don't have a greenhouse and rely on plastic baggies ... :eek:

    I'm jealous about the Erythrina ...

    Any ideas on the climber? I think mine had a note about creamy flowers ...
