I agree with Anthony,    Strongylodon macrobotrys, jade vine.

Well done Anthony, and Hoy perhaps not as easy as I originally thought ;)

Here is a picture of a single flower, a raceme and part of the plant, not at its best at this time of the year, but you can see on the right how some of the racemes almost came down to the ground.

What a lovely flower. A friend, living near Falkirk, has some vines in his greenhouse, although he got them after we moved here.

Yes it is really spectacular Anthony, the last picture shows the tunnel linking two glasshouses which is absolutely full of the vine, when we went before it was racemes falling everywhere, hopefully when we visit later this year it will be like that again.

I was thinking loose Chincherinchee buds (Ornithogalum thyrsoides) but I see that was not right.  :'(

I think it looks like a green double tulip, which sits in an arrangement.

Ohhhh!  Well done , Ulla ! 8) :-*

I had quite mistaken the scale of the photo... but even if I had got that right, I still would  have been fooled! 
I think that was a good puzzle - difficult for me! :D
