Holboellia latifolia - 2016 (Holboellia latifolia)

Although I posted a photo of the flowers of this climber a few days ago, there has been an exciting development.
Although most of the flowers are pink, there are some white ones higher up on the right. This plant carries both male and female flowers; the females are pink and the males white. Although I have been growing it for seven years, this is the first time it has carried any males. Perhaps it will fruit for me for the first time this year?

Yet another one I'd never heard of! It does look exotic. No wonder you are excited.
