A garden flower photo

Could anyone recognising this flower please let me know what it is called. It has a trailing nature, with fragrant white flowers which are borne on the end of a bladder like sage green, veined coloured pod.

It looks so lovely Hywel... It spreading tendencies are just starting, and there are new flower buds appearing. I feel that am a very proud owner of this plant.

Yes it's very pretty. And not as common as it once was. I haven't seen it for a while. Take care of it .

Do not worry it will be cherished. I saw these wonderful flowers growing on Holy Island, whilst on holiday last year. There were a few seed pod's asking to be re-homed. So a seed pod came back willfully from my holiday, and this is how the the plant unnamed-now named thanks to Hywel. What a Star * its now growing happily in my garden.

It is funny how clearly I can see the time and place when I look at my plant growing happily.

I like to have plants that remind me of things/places/people. It makes them a bit more special
