Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 HI SharonThe one that's blooming so well is called a Honey Suckle. Right next to it is a Golden Shower, but oh well, it is still deciding if it wants to grow or not. LOLThe other side we have Morning Glory and Black Eye Susies, orange and yellow. But they're not in the mood for growing either.The Honey Suckle dies at winter time, but when spring comes again, it will just go on where it stopped. The dead branches just sits there and wait for spring to appear again.I'm glad I remembered that one's name. Most of them I don't know and the rest, well, the spelling is off, I can assure you.In Mossel Bay Hibiscuses and Bougainvilleas are the most favorites. We have trouble with our Bougainvilleas, they won't grow, but the Hibiscuses are always a pleasure. I think we have every color there is. We even have a purple one, very strange but it looks lovely. I will see if I have a picture of it somewhere. Oh yes, and it's also one of the Hibiscuses that dies at winter. It was actually funny, the first time we thought, oh well, he didn't like us. So we cut him down to the ground. Silly!!! The next spring he began to grow again, after that we realized that he was one of the few that dies in winter.We also have a very strange white Hibiscus. It's the one that Mini-Blaartjie lives in, but every now and then it will get this perfect pink flower between the white ones. Why, we're not sure, but hey, everything in this garden is a bit strange.Thanks for asking and I hope the numbness goes away. Having MS always makes us worry about all the little changes, that this will be one of the BIG attacks.So good luck with it.Love you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 , do you eat the honeysuckle. I remember when I was a kid my grandmother had a few bushes and we'd eat them, It's so nice to think of flowers with this snow and cold weather .... hugs, Cait Plant on arch HI SharonThe one that's blooming so well is called a Honey Suckle.
