Title: Any ideas?
Post by: Bun on May 20, 2006, 13:41:52
A friend at work has been told that a plant of his is called a Corriola. I don't know how it's spelt, but that's the way it sounds. He has asked me to find info on it, but I can't find it any where. Do any of you plant brainiacs know what I'm after?

I am sure I read an answer to this query on the BBC site by William. Try looking up Convolvulus massonii.

Oh, that one. Yes I posted there, but wasn't satisfied with the answer. Cwm said it was an annual but my friend has had it for 2-3 years now.  I was just wondering if people had other ideas. :)

Now go stand in the corner for being unfaithful!  ;D

annuals seed themselves, don't they? ::) ;D

Your friend quite sure that this plant shows itself all year round and is the same plant?

Just wondered.

I'm pretty sure it's not an annual, he's going to bring a piece of it into work to show me.  :)

A description or a picture of the plant would be useful. There are lots of things it could be starting with Cor or sounding like Corriola. Corokia is one which immediately springs to mind. By the way Convolvulus massonii is not an annual and its common name is Corriola.
