    I bought this climber in March as a Passion flower. I soon realised as the leaves appeared, that it wasn't anything like a Passion flower.

    I've been back on to the nursery that sold it to me and they have no idea what it is, which seems strange. It shows no sign of flowering at the moment but I'd like to know what to expect.

    Can anyone help please.

    Many thanks.

    Oh dear they are probably too small to tell. Can anyone enlarge them please?

        If I didn't know better I'd say it was bindweed!

        Is it Ipomoea?

        Oh Sheal, you think a Plant Nursery would sell Jovi a Bindweed instead of a proper climber:scratch: Weeell, maybe; you didn't buy it from Jersey Plants did you, Jovi:D:cry3:

          I got it from Hillfoot Nursery online. It's definitely not bindweed, the leaves are thicker and almost downy.

            Sorry everyone, I was joking about the bindweed. Perhaps I should have used a smiley to accentuate that. What would we do without them eh! :WINK1:
