Pimpernel:

Yes, it has a very bright royal blue or purple flower. They tend to cover the shrub or tree during the peak months.

I've read Tibouchina urvilleana can freeze to the ground and come back from the roots very quickly.

You'll have to post pics of the baby plumerias.

That's good then.....but I really hope we don't a winter like this past one for a very very very long time!

I will post pic of Plumerias soon.

It seems a reasonable price in the Garden Centres here Alex £12.50 at Burncoose...I think we could do better in ebay!

Smiling......I keep checking e-bay Pimpernel....a lot of shops won't ship plants to Greece. I did find seeds from the USA.
