My first success!
Hi all,
I am new to the forum and this is my first year in our house where I have put my mind to gardening. We started from scratch and had a new lawn put down, which (despite the kids playing on it every day) is my pride and joy. It's like a luscious carpet!
To make the fences appear less bare, I have planted a passion flower on the south facing side. It was slow to start, but in the last few weeks has at least 100 buds all waiting to open and this is a quick shot of one of the first flowers: I'm now hooked!

Congrats and welcome aboard Pete.
Hi Pete
They are amazing looking flowers aren't they
In the sticks near Peterborough
Welcome Pete, I do love a passiflora, must plant one one of these days!
I'm trying to kill one
but it's defying me.
I thought they were all tender? Surely frost will do the job?
it's been there since we moved here 4 years ago.
OH dug it up last year, but it regrew from roots left in ground.
Time for a lick o' topical glyphosate?
I've let it grow up through a perennial sweet pea but intend to untangle it onto the terrace and give it a zap
Sorry Pete, didn't mean to hijack your posting.
Me neither, a bad habit I have!
