Post by: Rindaloo on November 13, 2008, 16:40:48 PM: Another nice one that has losts of flowers (no perfume though) is Plumbago. And Honeysuckle has to be my all time fave. So is there a chance you could have more than on type on this trellis?

Post by: KKOB on November 14, 2008, 18:01:22 PM: You don't want to rely on Sir Ranulph as a climber. He might be better for ground cover.:D

On May 24, 2008, Fiennes had to abandon an attempt to be the oldest Briton to climb Mount Everest, being forced to turn back from exhaustion after reaching the final stopping point in a climb for charity. The adventurer, who is receiving treatment for prostate cancer, was suffering with heart problems and vertigo, a spokesman reported. Wikipedia
