Wow! what super plants/flowers. I had one of these many years ago, it got to about 12 feet tall with no sign of a flower - must have been a different clone.

I have a strip blind hanging at the doors - it stops birds flying in during the day too.

Hi Geoff, That's amazing to the point of annoying. Lovely, lovely flowers and scented, as well?
You have the space and the climate for plants to grow like that. Do you heat in winter?

The bodies of those 'scopulicolus' types are quite attractive, too.
