 Hello, above is a picture of a Loftus Vine I bought at KHP yesterday. It was an impulse buy, when I saw the name I just had to have it. There was a bit of a que at the stall so I didn't ask the stall holder about plant care, thinking I could just google it when I got home, but I can't find a thing about it. HELP. Some of the plants had a damson colored single trumpet like flower on if that helps (I picked one without a flower) |

It was one of the smaller plant stalls I don't remember seeing a name on the stall. The loftus vines were next to the grape vines but I don't think this will fruit, but I may be wrong, it'ud be great if I was.

It does look like a grape vine Emsey, and I found a ref to a Loftus cultivar in a scientific type article but no pic or description of the actual plant.  |

I can't find anything about it anywhere! Very odd.......what a mystery! I bought a plant at our children's school Summer fete which I was assured was a 'Drumameion' - I've got NO idea what it is - at least you know what your plant's called, Emsey.  |

your plant sounds like a Camellia with drum shaped flowers, I made that up BTW  At least I do have a name for mine, Maybe its a very new species? |
