    Here are a couple of climbers that I inherited in this garden. Not really keen on either as a rule, but they're both white which makes 'em rather nice.

    Unknown Honeysuckle............

    ............and a perennial Sweet Pea.

    Can't decide whether to keep these night scented stocks or not...........

    My Zauschneria (Californian Fuchsia) is looking wicked at the moment!

    Posted this elsewhere, but I'm going to show it off here too as I'm made up with it - Brugmansia sanguinea..............

    Clerodendrum ugandense is one of my favourite plants...............

      All amazing and as usual Keith - so very different. But I love the Californian Fuchsia. It's that lovely prostrate habit that attracts me - never seen that before.
      thank you,
      Jenny

                not sure, but I like planting things close, and the garden where it's planted is a jungly effect .... some guys on another forum have them with leaves of 1,5 meters big ... (twice as big as the leaves on mine) :yikes:

                  It's raining outside at the moment, thumping down, but I've still got colour in the borders.
