    What? :D Will have to check that out. Well done again, strongy. [​IMG]

    Unless pete has a never-ending supply of mystery plants, perhaps you should put one in? [​IMG]

    I'm lost ... but that's not unusual. What is it? It's not a "normal" Oleander, pete. I still haven't a clue what it is but it looks "old" .... bit like me [​IMG]

    Why am I trying to bonsai one? For fun? Would you like it? It's a double pink.

    PS Your garden is so nice ... I only wish ... [​IMG]

    I went through all the rellies I could think of this morning going through the family line, pete, but gave up, I'm afraid.

    I'm still lost ... no idea whatsoever but very intriqued obviously! [​IMG]

    I have to say again that you must have one of the most varied and rare collections of plants I have ever encountered ... I know it's taken you years but well done!
