Interesting. Don't think I've ever seen a white one of these before 👌

@jeatacake from what I remember it’s supposed to be much more pink. Not sure what’s happened 😂

I had that with a wisteria. Was meant to be a purple o e, but turned out white!

@jeatacake that’s quite a plant to turn out differently! But any colour wisteria looks gorgeous 💜💙💟

I already have a purple one which I bought as a potential replacement, as the one which turns out to be white had never flowered into this spring, so I was well pleased. Having seen white ones at Bodnant Gardens in N.Wales, I was overjoyed to see it have white flowers this spring! 😁 @kez001uk

@jeatacake had you had it long before it flowered finally? I bet the white one is gorgeous! 😍 I bought a blue, pink & white one recently but holding out little hope they’ll flower any time soon!

It took 4 years. It had it's first flowers this spring but only a few. Since then it has grown like crazy. I moved it after last spring with no flowers & it seems happy now. Maybe next spring will be the time when yours gets going. It certainly sounds an interesting one 👍

@jeatacake 4 years isn’t too bad from what I’ve read. But they’re so worth waiting for 💜 must have rewarded you for finding its happy place in your garden 😁

It was quite big when I got it & it cost about £25. The other was a twitchy thing costing about £7, but flowered the very next year. That was in full sun whereas the other wasn't but now is & is happy at last! 😊 Ooo err 1-0 France!

@jeatacake ain’t that the way! You’d expect the more established the more likely to flower. But now they’re both in the (too hot) sun hopefully you’ll get an abundance of flowers 🤞🏼 I wasn’t expecting France to score first! Hope we get a few more goals from this game!

Thank you & yours too 😊👍It's all France now. Giroud's missed a few!

@jeatacake yeah Belgium seem to have gone off the boil :/ I have a soft spot for giroud but his final ball sometimes is awful 😆

@gjones remind me of mini hibiscus
