Power of the internet

A couple of weeks ago, I put out a call on Facebook for donations of plants.  We had an almost overwhelming response, with dozens of donations from all over the metro area - plus a few more from further afield.

Some were completely unknown, like this delightful little creeper.  There is this fantastic app called Google Lens, which can ID just about anything - and by applying the app to this image we discovered that it is a Maurandya, or climbing snap dragon.  Joseph Paxton described it as a beautiful climber in 1836, so it's perfect for our Victorian garden.
