        I think it is ''Alba Luxurians'' - it is a viticella, but I seem to have lost yet another label:doh: and the memory is not so hot these days...will have another liddle look tomorrow :oops:

          Where can you buy a variety like that please? I have been to Morrisons upteem times and it was hopeless. They are selling the same thing. Same clematises, same cistuses, same fuchsias... Morrisons, please up your game. I so want to support you...
