fran m's Journal

Its a bit difficult to see the solanum, but the pods look interesting, as my garden is void of plants, and seeing as i am a cheeky chappie, i would be delighted to recieve any seeds that you might have spare, let me know and i will send my address to your e-mail.

Obviosly a climber if it is a solanum???

Badger, no problem in giving you seeds. It will be a whie yet till they ripen fully. I have added pictures to the journal for you.

MaryJoe this one is not a climber, far from it ;-))

i like the lime seed pods.

I have one of these courtesy of Bill also - I didn't realise it would flower! Looking forward to that! I have it in a pot at the Pergola so i think I'll take it in for the winter just in case ......

Fran it is lovely alright MaryJoe it is a shrub from Australiasia common name is Kangaroo Apple (not Paw) because of its fruit in Frans pic which comes after flowering like all Solanum family it is suseptable to blight so be warned. In mild areas it is perennial.  also grew a more finely leafed one I got seeds from Tina S. Linerifolium this year.

thought Kangaroo paw was called anigozanthus which I have grown many times but it never lasted more than a season or two?????

Oh dear MaryJoe very sorry for confusing you your very right of course however I got mixed up with my paws and my apples. Common name is Kangaroo Apple so sorry.
