I haven't grown them this year - just as well really  ::) - but I seem to recall that some do flower very late. There was a white one......

Funnily enough, mine were putting on a great show - then the dog jumped all over them trying to get at the birds and cats. :lol:

Hmmm! didn't know some came late.  Trust dogs, like little 5 year olds keep you on your toes.  Mine decided to chase a cat the other week and got tangled up in the clementis that was (note the was) growing quite happily up a shrub.  Had to cut him out the little devil.

Our's are late this year, mainly because I was late planting them. Last year our's carried on into november, so your's have half a chance....providing the weather improves!

Mine are also just starting to get into their stride.  It can only be the weather as I bought mine from the garden centre about the same time as I did last year.  It's been so cold and wet though, it's no wonder they have been reluctant to flower.
