	If anybody is in the region of the large pottery at Miravet, and if they know what the flowering climber is outside could they let me know? I know there are more than one pottery at Miravet but it is the large one on the left as you are leaving the village. Best wishes Debbie

	Is there any chance of you posting a picture of the plant on here, please? Then may be able to help.

	I know of a glorious pink climbing plant outside the pottery in Miravet which is opposite a garden centre - is this the one? As far as I know the plant is Podranea Ricasoliana, the pink trumpet vine. It comes into flower in early autumn as we took photos of it last October. We have one growing through an olive tree but it isn't a patch on the one in Miravet. Hope this helps.

	Been trying to find photo we took when we were over so thanks Colin. We went there in September and it was in full flower and was beautiful. Next question is how hardy is it without too much water? We are trying to devise some sort of watering system for when we are not there but all plants need to be water drought proof. Debbie

	The shrub/climber Podranea Ricasoliana (pink trumpet vine), is fast growing, and can reach 6m. and spreads, and covers, well. It likes full sun, and well drained soil. It likes little to moderate watering. Can survive in Winter to minus 3. Hope this helps. Yes it is beautiful.
