    Fancy my friend, I don't have a garden I'm afraid so no hanging baskets for me [​IMG]

    Marge, sorry, just joking about the "fiddling" bit. Its a super looking Clematis!

    Pete, thanks for the info about bedraggled sometimes being the best! I guess I should know as I used to work for Wyevale G.C. and maybe that's why I have been driven to the [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    This is looking better now than it did in spring! You can just make out a Calendula on the right.

    Thanks, folks, I feel like I'll flapping them in your face ... well, I am! But they're lovely and the smell ... mmmm ... and they're right in front of our bedroom window! [​IMG] I thought it was only the white ones that were scented ... wrong!

    I'm trying to find out which this one is .. I think it's the Suaveolens species but have to do more checking. If anyone know, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks in advance. [​IMG]

    Lovely, Pete, but it looks like a shady character to me ... so perhaps not for me. Love the glossy leaves.

    I dont know how it would react with you L of L, its S African I believe, but not sure whereabouts.
    There is a possibility that it might grow winter with you, and dormant summer, but I'm not sure, would need further research.
    Thanks Fancy!!!!!

    Hi, walnut, nice of you to stop by on your cycling trip! [​IMG]

    So you think it's a Sualveonens as well .. perhaps we'll go for that as I'd like to put it in the new Gallery but didn't want to be hasty with my decision.

    Must look up your Eucomis, Pete, but tomorrow, me'thinks.

    PS Walnut, do you do LONG rides? We bought mountain bikes just before the summer so haven't haven't had much time on them ... and I've never had a bike before! After the temp went above 20C in the morning, I said "no way" so they've been in the shed all summer. Now the weather's right again but we only cycle around the orchards. Whimps, I know, but we have to start somewhere atg our age! [​IMG]
