Saved this wee guy, when the district council demolished the building behind my trellising.
Potted it up, gave it a short back and sides, then transplanted it this morning.
Don't know what it is, though.
Any ideas?

Oh, what have you folk unleashed?
Now I''ve discovered how to upload my pics, there'll be no stopping me.
Hi Terra!
Well, there's a passiflora & a honeysuckle in front of the plain brick wall, awaiting support.
I was thinking some convolvulus & nasturtium to accompany them.
The trellis has two climbing roses & I want to add a clematis (summer) & sweet peas.
What do you think?

Hi Mouldy ..
Honeysuckle ... you can buy evergreen ones as well...
nice :o)
Maybe include Jasminum nudiflorum .. to add a bit more winter colour ...

have you seen morning glory? its a bit like convolvulus but stunning colours, doesnt seem to like my garden [which is shady] but im sure it will love the open space you have.
honeysuckle will be so lovely ~ evening scent?
oooh sweet peas ~ gorgeous

Cobaea scandens, the cup and saucer plant...easy to grow from seed, annual climber!!

Well, I know the honey is called 'Scentsation' I should have checked, shouldn't I Sticki?
The convulsion is a mixture.
I have to say, Terra, that a B&Q superstore has put two small, local nurseries out of business.
My choices were limited, with planting time running out, so I grabbed what I could from said villians &, dare I say it...Lidl's. Lol.

It is 'luck of the draw' with Lidl ...
... some plants very good.. some not ...
a pity about the local nurseries no longer operating ..

Cheers Paul.
I'll have to have a browse around the site shops.
Are they any good?

have you got a morrisons near you mouldy?
9 Mar, 2013
No longer, Sticki.
It sold out to the Co-op, who sold out to BM. Oh, yeah, Terra, that's another one of my suppliers. Lobelia, sweet peas, wire, plant tags, etc. Lol.
