Well it appears as though my hours of Murder She Wrote watching isn't helping my detection skills much. Mind you - I don't have any murders to solve, but I do have the unsolved issue of the odd plants I seem to be growing!

Yup. Beats me what it is. If my memory serves me, the other matching plant to this one had yellow blooms last year but it isn't showing any signs of flowers just yet. So - now it's your turn! Any ideas?
it looks like a trumpet vine, but those are normally orange..
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty, whatever it is. Tonnes of blossoms, too! Jean would love picking them all for you.

ReplyDeleteI think it's a lavatera. 'showy pink blooms, heart-shaped leaves'.
ReplyDeletemy mom says if it is climbing like that it might be morning glory...but they are usually purple.
