I think I might have to try this one. However it looks as if it's tempting to cats. Is it spiny at all? Only spiny plants are safe in this house.

Thank you both :)

Laura it is covered in fine white hairs. Not a spine in sight lol
I keep it up high on top of a book case, because it hangs down ... and the cat can't reach it :o)

We are compadres Howell. Mine is also blooming on the other side of the world. They say the berries are sweet. I never remember to try..maybe this time.

I've never tried them either. I don't think I'd like them. They look rather tough.
