Thank you S.Branch. I have several climbers along the whole run. If it's the one with the little white flowers, that's a cotoneaster. The little flowers become red berries. It's evergreen, and the birds don't eat the berries, so it looks good all winter. I can't remember which one it is - it might be lacteus. I do have to keep it in check by removing stems every so often. In beside it is a clematis Miss Bateman, which will just have finished flowering when that pic was taken. That border faces west so it gets all the prevailing wind and rain, but plenty of sun too, apart from the bit at the right hand end which is a bit shadier.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's always good when people get the bug My raised beds are all slightly different in size and depth, so I have plants that like wet soil next to ones which don't. My garden was non existent when I moved here six years ago, and now it's full of 'stuff', and has lots of wildlife visiting. Very satisfying.

They're alliums. Can't remember which varieties I'm afraid. They didn't appear last year - probably too dry just at the wrong time. There are some stems showing in that spot just now which definitely look like alliums, so I'm hopeful they're fine. They're very handy for a vertical if the spot's sunny enough. Might not be so good for your border, but there are plenty of other plants with spires of flowers which might work. Foxgloves for example.
