      Everything seems to be benefiting from the Phostrogen this year, but I don't remember the Camellia having this many flowers ready to burst out.

                  This Clematis is sitting in a pot waiting for us to work out where it should go. The other two of them are already blooming on their trees but a third seems to have died.

                  P1380685.JPG

                  @ARMANDII our Clematis Armandii Apple Blossom has no flowers on it (I'll have a closer look to see whether it has buds) and there are loads of green leaves on the ground beneath - still loads on the plant. Should it be flowering by now?

                    I've got one Clematis, which is growing well. I cut it right back last autumn and its currently around 18 inches tall. It is a summer flowering variety though.
