December flowers on hardy plants from @RiversideHybrds #Passiflora and one of our hybrids. P. ‘Damsel’s Delight’ P. ‘Betty Myles Young’ P. ‘Snow Queen’ P. ‘GK2’ (our one. Flowers more impressive in season) No heavy frosts mean they carry on growing and flowering

A fantastic garden, and I will be there helping out tomorrow. It's a real gem.

This white #passiflora ‘Snow Queen’ from @RiversideHybrds has over 50 flowers open daily at the moment, each flower lasting 2 days. It’s a single plant (unnamed hybrid it’s sharing the fence with has a further 30) & by the end of the season estimated to have had over 3000flowers!

One day you can be dizzily chasing butterflies around the spires of ladies smock and being all sneezy around the luzula campestris and brown brushes of the meadow foxtail and the next day it has gone to **** #Kingstoncemetery

@LinManuelRwanda @MidlandJackdaw And where they are placed! In K-o-T placed in some roads with blocks of Flats with big gardens & garages they are empty or near to it. I am convinced that they are really Capybara traps… 🧐

It's quite simple - they make everything you have to use or experience as ugly as they possibly can because they hate you and want every moment of your life to be as undignified and miserable as they can possibly make it without resorting to literal torture.

Public bike hangers are a useful addition to London. But why have we just silently accepted that they have to look like pig shelters on a farm? The home of the Routemaster, black cab and red telephone booth can do better than this pig-ugly eyesore, open a design competition.

Today’s passionflower is #passiflora ‘Betty Myles Young’ from @RiversideHybrds. This quick bit of video shows why I consider it to be head and shoulders above all the other hardy ones. Mid November, all the rest have finished and it’s doing this! You need one on your garden!

Today’s passionflower is another P. loefgrenii hybrid, this time of the form from Iporanga, #Passiflora ‘Alwin Berger’ is easy, has large flower, stays open up to 3 days and is happy down to about 5 degrees - so many good habits! Definitely one for your wish list…

#passiflora comparison time. If you love P. caerulea why not try these as well. Direct comparisons with caerulea of @RiversideHybrds ‘Damsel’s Delight’, ‘Betty Myles Young’ and ‘Snow Queen’ - all are as free flowering and, from my experience as hardy as caerulea.

@Devsubtropgdn Plant labelling generally is poor but in Passiflora ridiculously so. As a breeder I want people to get the plants they think they are buying.

Another one! This, sold as #passiflora ‘Beervelde’, turns out to be ‘Damsel’s Delight’ - same garden centre (&mass supplier) that sold me caerulea as ‘Damsel’s Delight’ On the plus side good new growth from P. phoenicia, the grafted vitifolia still doing well & ‘Snow Queen’

@RiversideHybrds You’re very welcome to, and I expect an even more impressive picture from it soon, given how quickly its trying to escape next door. Phenomenal growth. I’ll have to do some measuring!

I know how everyone hates those ‘how it started - how it’s going’ things. So here’s one. 29th April to July 21st (about 12 weeks) for #passiflora ‘Snow Queen’ by @RiversideHybrds this is one of Myles’s finest. Shortly will be 50+ blooms a day Great recovery from tricky a winter

@mr_plantgeek I guess you have been honing your skills... most chains a lot of stuff such as sauces is made in central kitchens and heated up as required. For the independents a good chef is expensive. Even before Covid good food and good service not easy to find.

After a year of cooking for oneself, why is every meal OUT a disappointment??

@Devsubtropgdn An extremely grumpy creature but stunning. I fear it will be lost as so difficult.

The absolutely infuriating and frustrating #passiflora ‘Crimson Tears’ which will shed all flower buds if it gets too much sun, or if I merely look at it the wrong way, makes full amends when it flowers and I remember why we grow it.
