        I was rather clumsy when I put these in this pot and broke both of them quite badly. There are actually two different plants in the pot......................

          Lidl had a good selection in a few weeks ago! Worth keeping an eye out there as they were 2 for a fiver.

          Yes - one pod and it exploded! So no, I never got the seed, but I almost did!

            Don't even go there! It has been excruciating:gaah:

            At least in the latest loss Pieterson took on the responsibility of facing Mitchell Johnson, almost relishing it even. If only he work out how to deal with Siddle:dunno:

            Got a few flowers on the Aeschynanthus marmoratus cuttings you sent me earlier in the year Longk.
            The flowers are, if I might say a bit unimpressive, but the foliage is great.

              It looks happy with you! It has certainly grown well.
              That's what I kind of like about the flowers - you have to seek them out as it's the foliage that takes your eye.

                It's not the best photo as it's a bit greener in colour, but I've foobaahed my hand so that's as good as it'll get I'm afraid!

                  I would spell it as I meant it, but the naughty word filter would mean that we're no further forward:loll:
