    I don't recall the name of the Clematis. 

    It looks like Dr Ruppel.

    Ok some pics, here's the clematis I have no idea of the name of!

     my lovely lupin common as, but I do love it.

     Some of my mad aquilegia, some are singles, some doubles and some triples, all in a lovely purple/blue

     good old papaver, never lets me down.

     more aquilegia

     my lovely broom, 2/3 collapsed after rain a few weeks back, it's too big for the border so was going to go, only half flowered before it collapsed, would have been stunning. Still once it's finished I'll have more room!

    image

     a type of rhoddy that smells fantastic, if anyone knows the variety please speak up, inherited when I bought the house.

     my bush rose about to erupt

    image

     When unfurled, again if someone can name that rose I'd be grateful. The plant is about 4 ft high millions of buds and smells divine. It was in a pot with a huge 1 inch thick tap root going in the ground. Now had pot removed and a load of manure and decent soil around it, it's probably going to go mental, and I can't wait. Currently you can smell it from about 10 yards away, so when it enjoys it's new spot, hopefully the flowers will increase substantially.

     I'll try and stick more up as things happen. Really enjoy seeing other people's ideas and successes! Gives me hope and heart..

    Am I being impatient? I don't really 'do' bedding plants but I did put some nastutiums in a tub this year...they are still only 20cm/8" high, when should they grow and flower? Thanks.

  • Here are some pics of my tiny pride and joy. (The garden I mean, of course.image)

    Sorry about this being on its side - the technology defeated me. This rose is gorgeous this year. It was gift and I've lost the name.

    image

     Here's one side of the front garden.

    image

    Part of the back garden - the lawn is now gone and I'm planting it as a herbaceous border. The plant in the foreground is an inula - it didn't do well in the ground so I tried it in a pot. It will be six feet tall later, with yellow flowers.

     

    image

     I bought this rose as an unnamed plant but I think it is gorgeous. Think it is probably an earlier English rose.

    image

    This is rosa banksiae at 3 years old! I'm beginning to think of it as the triffid!

    Just an aquilegia that took my fancy.

    It's looking great GG. Love the soft romantic look of the front garden.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • Andy what a lovely place to visit.

    Ben great pics, love the rose

    GG looking good, I'm sure you will show another pic when you've filled border. That pink rose is really lovely. People must really love walking past your beautiful front garden
