    Very nice Kedi.
    Will caerulea grow outside where you are?

    Thanks pete.

    No idea if it will grow outside here, but if we ever manage to get it out of the Wintergarten I'll sure try it outside.

    We need to get rid of the whole thing our of our Wintergarten as it is taking over! It and the grape are fighting for the best places up under the plexi-glass roof, so if one has to go, then it must be the passion flower.

    If I can get a sucker out with roots, I will try it.

    Mr K swears that he will get rid of this when the growing season is over this year. It is really a pain and new shoots are appearing all over the Wintergarten. :eek:

    My cousin took some shoots back to England with her last week, told her to make sure she kept it in a pot.

    Here is a pic taken yesterday, hopefully the last time I will take pics of it in here.

    Beautiful pic Sis ... mine is still driving me mad and is now taking over the pergola and I'm uprooting a dozen a day strays in the cracks of the paving and in the border nearby ..... :eek:

    On the possible positive side, my namesake has somehow shot two new shoots up out of the concrete pot all of a sudden when I thought it was gone so it will have to compete with the new red Honeysuckle in there .... only time will tell. :)
