Because they were pretty, but have no idea what they are cos the label was in Greek and when I asked the man he said something in Greek Rolling Eyes

So anybody any ideas what they are ?

my mummy says it's definately not hibiscus, it looks like a vine rather than a bush and hibiscus is ia bush.
She reckons it looks more like like a morning glory (although obviously not blue) so maybe something from that family Very Happy

I thought the blue ones might be solanum, the pink ones I've no idea, but they aren't hibiscus or bourginvillea Very Happy
