Flower of many parts

Beautiful flower Sticki.

Still not even got buds. 5 plants and nothing but leaves!

Nice flower sticki... Mine are probably too young.

this was from the one i bought pimms, i thought all the flowers had finished but then this bud appeared!!

Wow!

Now thats a beauty!! (And not a snail in sight!) :D

Just look at the colours

thanks rose, pita and tubby;

perhaps they dont like the taste ~ so thats another reason to have these in the garden!!

Good idea! It is beautiful - in my favourites!!

i wanted to grow them just so i could take a photo!!!!

thanks annella, great flowers arent they!?

Fantastic Sticki! So amazing these......

Wow its like an alien flower! Lol.

i hope it doesnt behave like one willi!!

Oooh no, better lock your bedroom door!

dont worry its locked and bolted!! but they dont last so i think im safe!!!

absolutely stunning sticki:)))))

thanks mark, sadly it will close today ~ thats how they go, and i havent seen any more buds :-(

Lovely captured Sticki:)

thanks kasy, its going now though :-(

ehh, life.... ;-( but are there more to come?

no! not on mine :-(

climbers are 'hungry' plants. Maybe give it a bit of fertiliser? And have a nice chat with it every day? lol
Although when some of my flowers do not do what they are expected to do i.e produce flowers I try to scare them saying I'd throw them away if they don't give me any flowers in a period given. And believe me - it always works, lol

i have almost forgotten about feeding my plants this year as i usually do that with the watering ~ and i havent done much of that!!

not much need to throw away either ~ the slugs are getting there first!

Wow what an extraordinary plant. You sure it's not from some other planet ? ;-)

well possibly thats the explanation??? maybe it came from 'Avatar' ??

Lovely Sticki!

thanks meanie ~ i will tell you a secret ~ i only bought it so i could try to get a photo of it, they fascinate me!!

I've just bought a passion flower Sticki. Planted it where clematis won't grow. We had a passion flower plant on the I>O>Wight growing up the front of the house, and it got so strong that it grew in under the lounge floor too so we had to dig it up!

growing into the house??? i think they like warmth ~ see stevie's photos ~ he has masses of buds on his in the polytunnel.

Very nice

Gg

Thank you GG, I find them fascinating.

Sticki

I will be getting two , I want one to stay in the greenhouse and one to pop outside

Byron Beuty and for the summer outside Purple rain

Deffo on wish list , Simbad has a lovely red one

Gg

good idea to have two, i had this one inside but then took it outside. i have others in the garden, in pots to see how they get on, mine are all the same type.

i shall look those up, purple rain sounds very nice; i didnt know there were red ones.

stevietheterrible has some brilliant ones in his polytunnel ~ they keep on flowering!!! so i guess they will like your greenhouse too.
