        I bought some bargain clematis from The Range last year Spruce, been waiting for a new home, Dr Ruppel (covered in buds) and Rouge Cardinal may clash a bit with the pink but in a lot of pictures it looks more a deep purpley colour so we'll see.
        Did I miss some :thud: having real problems with internet connection in the evenings for some reason, now was it 'Bark at Me' I ordered last year :scratch: but it had suffered in that bad winter so Sheila recommended 'Greywoods Nautical Nellie' instead, which is a stunner:blue thumb:, can't remember now, or else it was one I had my eye on:heehee: , remember the name , nice choices Spruce.
        Ooo yes Penny you won't be able to hold me back with the camera once they start flowering :WINK1:

                I will pop out and write down what has scapes on who ? lots of them now you can tell me which ones have you drooling :doggieshmooze: , I havent bought any for weeks , I like heucheras "Dims fault" the fall series and the site is packed full of must haves :dbgrtmb: you have to blame somone as youre the one that told me about Ebay with the DL so I have calmed down now just as well. Seeds still not sprouting I think I may just pot up and leave in the greenhouse , as you know I bought the little labels to hang off the seed pods so I will do a bit of crossing over the summer and have read up on it all big time I like the idea that you can keep the pollen in the fridge and freeze it as well and use it at a later date and about doing the pollenation as early in the morning as you can plus cloudy days are better than hot sunny ones to get them to set seed !!! who would of thought that !!. The "wild horses" are growing much better this year so I hope the flower colour improves as dissapointed with the colour last year.

                    Some beauties there Spruce, especially love Ginger Twist,Planet Max,Creature of the Night, Karens Curls and Octopus Hugs which I have seven seedlings of :hapydancsmil: crossed with Helix, they should be interesting.
                    Shame about your seeds, mind you I have one lot that have only just germinated which I put in the fridge the week after I came back from holiday mid March time, wasn't giving up on them as they were a cross I was really excited about, Emmaus crossed with an unknown yellow double and a few days ago noticed every one had sprouted they're on the windowsill greening up a bit before I pot them on, I'll post a list later of all the crosses I've got.
                    A heucheraholic now as well then :heehee:, with me its hostas I've bought a few lately for the shady area in the wood.
