  Lots of little clematis plants newly in at Aldi today for £1.79.  I noticed Mme Julia Correvon, Montana Elizabeth, Arabella, Pope John Paul, Carnaby, Etoile Violette, Rouge Cardinal, among others.  Also honeysuckle.  Some people like to grow them on before planting out, but I have usually found they take OK.

  Finally, unlike other plants in my garden, my C. ‘Guernsey Cream’ flower buds have survived the recent bad frost! Pic. taken this afternoon.

  Last year it only had 4 flowers so I'm looking forward to it having more (about 10 or 12 buds this year)

  Just about @Marlorena, we had a cold snap which set them back a bit and the blasted squirrels keep nibbling the buds along the top of the fence.
