And there was me thinking he took his name from the clematis ...

Bit like how Sal said recently that East Ruston had nicked a whole load of ideas from my garden ... I wish!

 

It's his middle name, he didn't want to use the other one.

 

My middle name is 'Nikau'

 

Hmmm ... "If your middle name was chosen after a plant, what would you like it to be?"

Rose and Violet are used, of course, but "Quercus"? or "atropurpureum"?

When Mrs K and I got engaged the announcement in the paper was accompanied by that of "Peregrine Moncreiffe of Moncreiffe of that ilk"

 

Poppy's middle name is Hemlock

 

I have that fantastic Clematis in full flower in my garden took a couple of years to get going but it is a beauty and perfumed, I planted one in my daughters garden years ago it reached the top of a 20 foot fir tree then she moved house, I wonder if its still growing in Lacey Green Bucks?
