    During a raid on my cold frame last year by a moggy,labels were knocked from trays. These have come through and I was wondering if anyone recognized what they are.

    Just had a rummage through my old seed packets and came across one marked as.."Chilean Glory Vine".Could it be that?

    Don't think the stems of the CGV are hairy... It's the way the stems are laid out that makes me think clematis..... sorry I can't be more specific. Keep rummaging! ;)

    the rounded leaves at the back do look very much like the second lot on the CGV i sowed this year (first time i've grown it so i don't know what it looks like later) when i did look at the picture(in this thread) i immediately thought 'clematis'. now i'm not sure.........

    i hope this makes things clearer Paladin? [​IMG]

    I'm sure you're all correct on the C-G-Vine.
    I have been through the old packets several times and that's the only thing I can come up with.
    :D So that's a big thank you to our Webmaster for the seeds he sent me ;) Cheers Nathan [​IMG]
