    Fairygirl, Niobe has been on my wishlist for when we next take the car to England. Will be May. Couldn't find it here.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    This is on our north facing trellis fence, new clematis viticella Morning Heaven, hundreds of pale blue bells with a hint of pink interior, bombproof hardy, no vices.

    I love it BL. I'd wanted it for years too, and didn't have the opportunity.

    It's a beautiful colour with really velvety flowers - grows well here and complements other planting well. That's oneof my favourite pix from the garden -  the raindrops just 'sat' on the flowers  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I've got an Alpina Pamela Jackman on a north-facing fence - it blooms it's socks off every year and is loved by wrens, robins and families of fledgling blue tits.

  • Fairygirl Dove - WOW!!! I want them all!

    They look superb.

    How would they both fare on an east facing wall? Are they haters of early morning sun whilst the ground is still frosty, like camellias, or are they really tough?

    I'm in London, so it's pretty mild here.

    Thanks for the tip re Bekkie image

  • Richard - yours is amazing...!
