Been catching up on all the pics I've missed since Tuesday (work, work, work) and what a treat. A big thank you to every single person that posted their pics, I have really enjoyed them, so beautiful. Keep it up! I haven't got anything to post as I've been at work for the last three days (well two days and a night) and not really done anything today since I got up, apart from planting a pot of geraniums, and doing another pot for my mum, as well as a pot of verbena, it was a little suprise, she was chuffed.
thanks everyone.. the sunshine really has made adifference this last week. everything is popping up and starting to shine.
@fidget bones.. yes is is really bright and rathe large flowers and stands 5ft tall everytime it comes up.. has super long lines at the back of the head also.. when i split them would you like one..
i love cleamtis.. but thye just do not like where i live... on top of the cliff with strong salt and sandy winds continuously.. i had many of them at my old house and brought some over with me when i moved.. 3 died and the rest i gave to my mum to save them going the same way..
she has her whole fence covered in them absolutely glorious site.. and they all flower at different times and look like they are moving down the fence.. if ya get me.. as they go.
all talking about roses.. i have never been a lover of roses.. but i think as i have got older my choice of plants has changed i have this year for the first time done fuschias.. i will add pic of them later.. all taken from cuttings i have taken as walking past gardens or been given by a friend who has them..
and i have also started roses.. we have two very very old ones in our garden.. pink flowers one very old fashioned rose full tight with petals and flowers continuously if i dead head it and one that has one lot of pink flowers and more open singular petal flower and only flowers the once..
they have started to get old and tired.. and one is in totally wrong place.. so last year i took three cuttings from each of them as i read on here.. and i lost 1 on one and 2 on other.. so now i can grow them on and plant out in new borders.. and dig othes up without worrying if they die in the move..
i will get some pictures of them and hopefully someone on here can identify the plants for me.. as i have no idea what they are called.
and maybe give me some ides for roses i can have that stay as bush form rather than climbers..

I'd agree with rusflorum John- looks very like Dr. Ruppel
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Like Daisy - I've been catching up on a week's worth of photos too - enjoyed every minute of it - thank you all for posting.
Am now inspired to get out there and create something similar.
And how I love the clematis !!
