'Loreley' grows like an absolute weed here and I've loved it from the start. However, if you're looking for a tall plant it doesn't really fit the bill. They say it would probably be classified as an MTB (miniature tall bearded) if it were introduced today. It had 11 stalks it's second year here and was started with a single fan. Add to that, that it's standards have BC (broken color)/irregular splotches of veining and sometimes the flowers can appear almost flat (considered a "new" development in iris breeding). I would definitely recommend it. Oh, and it pulled runner-up for our show last year against all the modern, colorful, ruffled things. Here's a shot from last year:

That is adorable! I love the fact that you grew the unknown Passiflora from seed, and never gave up. That's great. I respect the effort. As far as identification, I would agree with Karen, that it is a Passiflora incarnata. Where did the seeds come from? Was it growing wild in your aunt's yard, or did she buy it? It is beautiful, and I would be very interested in obtaining one. I have many Passifloras, and if you have any interest, I would be happy to trade with you. Send me an email if you have any interest. Happy gardening! Eric

It *was* a great swap. :-) I had many plants to put in the ground on Sunday! And those lovely ginger lilies -- oh my gosh, what great plants! I have one blooming in the house right now. I plan to give one of them to my mom-in-law -- she will love it in her new solarium. Thanks so much to Renee and Jan for their hard work. I thought the program was excellent and showed a lot of hard work had gone into it. Really great. And to all my Garden web buddies who made it -- thank you for the plants, the great food, and most of all, the fellowship. :-) I'll be back next spring, no doubt trying to unload all the plants I neglected to dig up before the Fall swap. With that, I would just like to close with a few things: Pat -- The Chaste tree is Vitex Agnus Castus. :-) Lessons Learned: * Not bringing the hubby's new truck == VERY good thing. As it was I looked like a florist driving back to Madison in my poor little Honda :-) * You can NOT trust Brug fanatics alone with your bundles. When I got home, every bag I unloaded had little sticks tucked in them by the Brug fairy! LOL * The best part of the swap is the amazing, friendly people (but this wasn't something new I learned -- I already knew that. ) Bless you all! Photos from the UK trip will be coming soon, I promise.

It seems to be a Promise PCi/UltraATA-66 Hard drive controller card. Makes the hard drives work. You can plug it into a pci slot and probably hook 4 or maybe even 8 older hard drives to it.
