can anyone shed any light
« on: November 02, 2006, 17:03:12 »
I got this plant from a cutting that was amongst some rubbish for the tip. Does anyone know the name of it. It has taken 2 years to grow and has been flowering for about 6 weeks now

I'm trying to improve my knowledge of flowers (herbs and veg will always be my first love) have discovered most have pictures somewhere on the net. For instance if you google for images of Solanum Jasminoides ......

http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=Solanum+Jasminoides&btnG=Search+Images

... of course only useful if someone's told you what to look for in the first place!
