Passions from the poly-man-cave
22 comments
Selection of some more recent pics and a few of the older ones of this passion flower Lavender lady loving the polytunnel : )
There were a couple of buds struggling just before I moved this into the tunnel. It looked like it was all over!!
Then moved it just as there was a bit of sun and with the extra warmth and being put in the ground a sudden spurt of growth was had : )

Lol Sticki, Ok you can have this latest flower ok?
Ydd, yep I had this out in a pot for the last couple of year, protected a little by other post in a sort of sheltered corner but was always just a straggly stem. A few flowers late in the year for the first year then just a couple last year. Not warm enough and not enough to grow well. I think when the cold gets to the roots thats the problem zone and I guess in a container it slows it alot so no flowers in summer. So no excuses now.

It looks as though its taking over in the tunnel Stevie, I have one growing along my dogrun, thought I`d lost it last winter as earlier in the summer there was no sign of it, then a few weeks back it showed itself and although I had no flowers (didn`t really expect any) its doing really well, just have to hope it makes it through the winter...
