That is true Mine are 5 cuttings from 2 original plants ( one yellow and one pink) but I think I'll ditch them this winter and start again next spring. Might just cut them right back though and see what happens

First flower just opened...over 2 weeks since the last photo was taken. This is Chloranth....it should reach 8-10 feet. The flower has only just opened, it's 6pm and it smells sooooo good

Oh wow farmersboy that's gorgeous and my very favourite colour. I neglected mine this summer but am overwintering one that looks quite healthy. I'll repot it in the spring and give it lots of tlc. I hope it's yellow but it might be pink

Amazing farmersboy, and good to see you - I bet the smell is fantastic, isn't it??!! Was thinking about you the other day when somebody posted about Nerines ( Ladygardener, I think) - are yours out yet??

My favourite colour farmersboy, I bought 6 new ones this year, in 3" pots and 2 of them have flowered I thought of you when I saw the first one in bloom Good to see you and glad the Clarets have had a reasonable start to the season ( better than Truro )

The smell is so strong,its all around the garden in the evening,no Nerines out yet,RF,
The yellow ones seem to have the strongest smell Auricula,Clarets for promotion this season ?and Col U ?
Im not too bad LG,but Mrs FB not good,shes almost blind,bad back pains,cant stand for any lenth of time,so i have to do most of the housework,read her mail and papers,make sure she takes her pills,about 10/12 per day,she is also diabetic,so im afraid my flower garden is not up to scratch,i grow what veg i can.
Thanks for looking,Tig
