identify a strange climbing plant
« on: July 02, 2007, 17:07:22 »
I have been to Paradise Park in Hayle to see the parrots whilst there growing around an archway was a climbing plant similar to a clematis cant remember if it was a red or purple colour but protruding from the middle was what I can only describe as a dark possibly black phallus shaped part, now i found this absolutely hilarious and would love one in the garden, any ideas sorry not much to go on! would make a great talking point  :o
