Interesting read, thanks

The fruits, which are green at first and mature yellow, are edible and have a sweet taste :mrgreen:

Sadly they didn't mention you need a second plant as they are almost completely self sterile, BUT I EAT THEM AND SPIT THE SEEDS INTO THE POTS :D not sure why that went to capital letters?

Funnily enough I was reading that article this morning. Thought they’d have found some better images. The mentioned Powis plant has in the past been completely smothered with bloom and would have made a great photo. I seem to remember the Clemmos having some big plants (including white) growing on a wall at Pine Lodge. Been there quite a few times but the last time was about 18 years ago, possibly more, so no idea what it’s like now.
So when we buy a plant from you Charlie, we’re getting a bit of your spittle included in the price!
My only flower this year:


pS Just reviewed the TASO page. I think I was looking at the older version. This one has far more images. Incidentally, on a wesearch I’ve just done, someone has this beautiful plant listed as Lapageria! Does anybody know what it actually is?

I think it is an AI generated image.

If you look through the rest of the source's facebook page you find an interesting assortment of photoshopped and AI images.

Tecomanthe dendrophila is the closest I can think of.

Thanks Chad. It just popped up as an image with other Lapageria images. I’m not on Facebook so am unable to look through the pages. This AI stuff is beyond me. Whatever happened to honesty?

Thanks for posting this, I am successfully keeping a rosea alive but haven't had flowers yet. I hope to get one of the picotee ones at some point!
