    I spotted these two plant while on holiday in Turkey this June . The first 2 pics are of a shrub with lovely small purple striped flowers 1" accross.
    The second 2 pics are from a large climbing and trailing plant. bell shaped orange flowers about 2" accross.
    Does anyone know the name of these plants ? And can they be grown outside in NW England ?

    TIA

      The first looks like Solanum crispum, the second Campsis radicans.:thumbsup:

          Thanks for the ID on the plants Silver Surfer , Dai and Louise

          The second one does seem to be Campis Radicans.

          The first one may be the solanum rantonnetii , which has round shaped flowers . I have a solanum crispum glanevin which has star shaped flowers , unless this is another variety.:what:

          I presume the solanum will grow in the UK . Reading up on the Campis , it may struggle , it prefers poor ground , drought conditions and as much sun and heat as possible. So not an ideal plant for my garden :D
