Title: Has anyone got.......................
Post by: Doris_Pinks on February 01, 2006, 10:10:03
Any Mina Lobata or Cobea scandens seeds (spelling might be wrong haven't got my book in front of me!) they would like to get rid of?
I saved my own seed from last year and of course can't find it!
Let me know if there is anything you would like in return

Hello Doris_Pinks

I went to look up the two plants were you were looking for and found out that the one -   is a rogue plant in NZ - here is what they say:

"Please do not plant Cobea scandens, the cup and saucer vine or cathedral bells, beloved of English gardens but a rampant pest here. Within the Auckland Regional Council (ARC) area, at least, you cannot grow it. It is banned from sale, propagation, distribution or commercial display. Existing plants must be reported to the ARC and they will eradicate them.  Do we have that problem with them in the UK - or is it still the beloved  :-\

Kentishsloe : if you have any spare lobata mina still going I would love some - I have just the right space where I ripped out an old 15 years old honeysuckle last Sunday and need something to fill the hole - also if the beloved is still in favour maybe that could make a nice show for a south westerly, shady site.  Name your fancy for a swop -  do you want vegetable or flower?? ::)

Doris - sorry about muscling in on your swop but it would seem that you got sorted out and you know the old saying - waste not, want not :-[
