Carole, I know what the first one is but can''t remember it''s name!! something like port....? Will do more research. The second one looks very much like Chilean Glory vine, does it scramble and get tiny black/paper seeds? Still trying to track down no3 plant.

Thanks for looking, Joan.  I googled pics of Chilean Glory vine, looks similar but it is not quite that.  Flowers don''t cluster in the same way, they aren''t tubes but trumpets, and the leaves are much darker and different shape.  Haven''t seen any tiny black/paper seeds either. But of course it can be a local variation of this vine.  I suspect that a lot of these plants with trumpets, whether trees, bushes or vines, are related.

Hi carole, the cocks crow plant is a Celosia, possibly argentea. Will be out this Friday, hope the weather is still good, heard you had some rain?

Cosetta - now that the weather has turned how is your garden, just out of interest?

I am new to this site and have not worked out how to view the photos of your garden.  Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Hi Carole, not sure if you are back in Kalkan. Like Melomania I cannot access your garden pictures now. Never mind, I am sure you will soon have some spring Kalkan flowers to look at. I have finally remembered the name of that low growing succulent flower - Portulaca or Pourpier!!!
I have bought myself some seeds to plant in Kalkan.

Hello from Elviria, Spain!  Just now saw these messages to me.  No, we are not yet back in Kalkan, will arrive April 22.  Driving from the south of Spain to Kalkan.  7 day drive + 2 days rest in Treviso, Italy.

Our garden ... no idea what it looks like now, but nothing new will get planted until I arrive so no difference now from the photos online.  Hope to bring some unusual plants from here that should do well in Kalkan.

Yes, my site was down for a couple of weeks as I forgot to renew my domain name.  Had to pay an arm and a leg to get it back from the host provider, but now it''s up again.

Thanks for your interest!

Carole
