Thanks Tammy, if I get seeds this year it will be useful. Last year was it's second year and seeds were making, but the summer turned very hot and the pod withered before they matured! They take a few years before they can flower, I got this one already flowered but young, I think 6 years.

I have Magnolia Susan in between the Acacia, Ceanothus and Choisya, in fower last year on 4th May. This is looking back towards the Hydrangea. This plant I grew from a small plug, this was 7 years on.
