Post by: Chantal on August 01, 2011, 03:22:53 PM

I have two mysterious plant
-Number 1 : a climber saw in Italy. I'm not sure but I suppose in Roma. My sister took the picture.

-Number 2 : identification asked from a friend. I don't know anything else.

Chantal the first looks like Hardenbergia comptoniana.  I do not think its hardy enough for the Languedoc.  Not sure of the second one.

Chantal,

The first is Callerya reticulata, syn. Millettia reticulata, a climber native to china, known also as 'Evergreen Wisteria'.

The second is probably Atriplex nummularia.

Thank you for your answers, you both.
Do you think I could grow the Callerya here in Languedoc in a very hot wall (south faced) ?
I sowed seeds of Hardenbergia 2 or 3 years ago and they germinated well, but I lost them during the winter because I planted them outside with no protection against frost. That's a shame because I like it very much.

On the other hand, I think it would be ok for the Atriplex.
