One of OH's favourite plants..the solanum Chilean potato vine...
I'm not a lover of it, but, the recent heat and lack of rain seem to encourage its flower production!
Early morning last week before sun up over the bund...

Thank you both, Julia and Ange. It's a love/hate relationship for me with this plant. I can relate to your feedback, both of you.
It's such a long flowering vine, but in a small garden it's like Jack and the Beanstalk 😁
Ange, I've seen pics of the white one.on here in the past, a pretty alternative!

Thanks Klahanie, I think you're right. It's a lot to do with proportion in the garden..this would be ok I guess in a big plot. OH won't back down on the full chop!

I like it - but then just about anything blue is welcome...A long flowering as well - what's not to like?

It's a very attractive view, Kate, and I love the tree fern. However, I prefer the white potato vine to the mauve one. We had one up the side of a bungalow we had in Oxfordshire and I really liked it. I think I'm with you on this one!
