              Lovely plants and pictures everyone! :dbgrtmb: My garden is only just starting to show signs of life. I've noticed the young Aquilegia 'Rhubarb & Custard' that I grew from seed last year is budding up nicely, let's hope it's not a disappointment.

                  Is it possible to get some pics of the Clematis open, Shiney, as, to be honest, that's not much to go on with the head hanging down........although my gut guess is Clematis Montana "Broughton Star".......but I think I'm being a bit hasty in saying that!!!:heehee:

                  The Spring flowering Shrubs are in full flower with my Spirea, Osmanthus, Viburnum and Exochorda providing a lovely splash of white:snork:

                  Osmanthus, the scent is so far reaching and absolutely fantastic.!!!

                            One of my favourite garden jobs Gdnam. Can't resist it when I'm out and about. If I see a clump that needs a trim, I just do it,
