What on earth did it get overtaken by!! That is just one plant in my photo! It is bordering on being a thug.

Must thank Mr.P for this - Caiophora hibiscifolia.................
And for convincing me to plant out my Bomarea edulis - a different plant..................
A few more climbers to continue the theme. Gloriosa lutea (a little so so if I'm being honest)................
Making up for that is G.carsonii (probably my favourite Gloriosa of the ones that I've grown so far) which has far better colours and a super shape...............
Passiflora Amethyst...................
Back on the ground, Solanum lancifolium................
Impatiens niamniamensis has romped away..................

Is that Clematis 'Avant Guarde' in the back ground of the last shot?
Caiophora hibiscifolia looking good, but did it get you?!!

Charlie - I have no idea about the Clematis as it is tumbling over from next door. As Clematis goes it is quite agreeable though.
I'm afraid that I appear to have broken the Caiophora as it has no sting whatsoever!!!

Heres a gem of a Salvia - S.urica..................
I have an abundance of large seed pods on Bomarea edulis - what are the chances of them maturing?

Bomarea pods look normal for this time of year, you should get a good crop of seed, looks quite attractive right up to Christmas and beyond.
Lovely blue on that Salvia.

Been in flower now since March, definitely one of my favourite conservatory climbers, I have tried this Pandorea outside on a couple of occasions but it is a sad sight compared to a protected plant, flowering for a shorter late summer season

I don't know why because on paper I should run a mile from yellow and pink together but I thought these few flowers of Rosa oderata 'Mutibilis' with the Fennel actually looked good! (or has the weather got to me - cold here last few nights)
