I see it too Melanie. I have since found out that the flowers of the white version are a popular component of some Thai dishes & I have probably eaten plenty! @greenfinger14

@carolgs I will. Nice one👍 Mine have grown really fast from seed & I think I'll plant 1 or 2 out after the risk of frost has passed, as it is not quite so mild here.
