          So happy with this clematis, something we've never had any luck with growing previously.

                Rose but don't ask me to name it.

                We did buy another one about 2years ago to go on the opposite border as you come in the side gate, it's still quite small. I'll see if I have the name somewhere tomorrow....but I doubt it.:blue thumb:

                It's my favourite one.:)

                    This is my purple/yellow corner, planted last year. It is the only bit of the garden I have any colour in at the moment. It’s still very messy and needs some work, but I do like opposite-colour schemes and at least it’s that.

                      Looks lovely but would be nice if you would put full size pictures up. :smile:

                            Cypripedium at Aberglasney Garden on Wednesday.

                            It was amazing how beautiful their hostas were too - they don't seem to get much slug damage, and the head gardener claimed they were just lucky!
                            Lovely place to visit and their cafe is good too!
