    Very pretty, all the different shades of green and leaf shapes, then the red leaves and blue clematis - pretty enough to be a picture!

    Babe, it's just a jungle out there! :rolleyes: I'll never have a jungle but it's getting pretty overgrown in places, which we love.

    I agree with Sis, all the lovely shades and shapes of the leaves are wonderful. [​IMG]

    What is that tall plant to the right of the upper left fern (top and middle pic and just peeking from the left on the third)?

    Some from today in hope of some sunshine.

    HBee banana flower is still going, the old petals need removing but probably has another month before curtains.
