You are I am sure all familiar with this plant which I trained across the roof of my glass house through out the winter. It was not repotted last year so new it had to be done this year,
There is a small window of less than two months when it is totally dormant no shoots no roots and that is when it is repotted, so last week I tipped it out of it’s pot and it is now happily sleeping in fresh compost
After such a beautiful flower I felt sure you would want to see the source of this lovely plant.
just to remind you march 2016
