Many years ago, I went to Hidcote and saw a plant I didn't recognise (I posted a blog about it but nobody could identify it). So I wrote to Hidcote and the Head Gardener said it was lonicera chaetocarpa and sent me some cuttings, but none of them rooted. Finally I found a supplier (Brighton Plants) but nearly lost it as the position I chose was too dry for it. I moved it last year and voila - flowers!

Brighton Plants is new to me, Andrew, it's not too far either! Well done on finding this.
