Hola

I have yet another gorgeous pink flower that has come into bloom, this is a climber and grows very quickly, this is the first time it has flowered since I have lived in this new house so I am eager to know what it is, I want to buy more for down the fence!

Thanks

Isn't it lovely? I have one rambling over the front wall - where passersby get a better view of it than I. I think it's called Campsis or more specifically Podranea Ricasoliana - pink trumpet vine. Readily available from most garden centres.

Hola Los Montes

Yes I absolutely love it!  I have been waiting all this time for it to flower and now it has I am over-joyed

I have found it in my book and I believe you are right, thanks so much for letting me know. I hate having plants and flowers in my garden that I don't know the name of, I am trying to build a database that I can eventually share with the group so we can build our own gardens on the website - knowing the name helps

I will do a little write up about Campsis now

Thanks

so what is this flower's name? 

Long silence from me because I have had to take back my pub in Gibraltar.  The only gardening I am doing right now are the window boxes outside, which have been left in a mess.   And the garden centre in San Roque has closed - does anyone know why?

According to my book the name is Bignonia Ricosolena and there are at least 3 others in the same family all with different beautiful flowers.   If you have Lorraine Cavanagh´s Mediterranean Garden Plant book they are listed on pages 90 - 97, with piccies.  Liz

Hola Jane

Nice to hear from you again. Shame you are not getting much gardening done but gardening does take a lot of our time, window boxes are nice though and you can get just as much pleasure from them, are you growing any herbs?

I imagine running the pub is hectic and taking a lot of your time.

I have just got back into gardening after the summer and I have been planting seeds and tidying up in general.

Take care

Hola Liz

Hope you are well, thanks for letting us know about the Bignonia, I know what to ask for now at the garden centre, I plan on putting some more in the grow over the fence and provide some privacy

I saw this one as well at the garden centre but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called but it was very pretty.

Hola Gayley

We named this a little while ago and we have made a post about it, you can view that post below if you wish. I have this growing up the bar wall and I love it, going to get me some more!
