Lovely pics as always everyone Your allotment is looking great SP
Well, as some of you may know I 'rescued' a clematis at the end of last summer which I thought had died until March when shoots started to appear, and here is it's first flower just opening. I am very proud of it, but don't know which variety it is?
I also have a Cytisus Broom, which I have realised mustn't have flowered before as I always thought they were all yellow......as you can see, it isn't and it looks very pretty
That's just asking to get me into trouble Lizzie, posting a link like that The first page has so many beautiful Clematis on already I'm going to have a look in my label drawer and see if I kept the label.
That's a lovely clematis. I found one scrambling through a horribly overgrown area at the top of my garden the other day. Sadly it ended up in the bags with the ivy and nettles, I hope I haven't killed it off, as it had gorgeous huge pink flowers. I haven't got to the bottom of that area yet, so maybe I'll find the base of the plant. Good luck in identifying yours, OL.

off to oregon for a week-may have to take this iris with me
stunning!
nothing new in my garden other than in my allotment,
theres nice soil now, free of bricks and plastic bags. More rewarding that any flower this year!
Well done SweetPea

Try looking on this site to identify clematis. There are so many and your flower isn't really open yet.

OL - I have one a bit like that called Shimmer - she's a bit shy, so trying to hide behind the "sofa" in the pic below ....
There is also a lovely light purple one called Dianas Delight
