Hi Salino, Really beautifull pics of clematis on those sites - well done. Still not sure about the Dr Ruppell; close (closer I think than Carnaby) - I'll take an A4 photo with me to Gardeners World Live on Weds and see if I can get it identified for sure.
Thought i'd share this really nice aquilegia, i know they are common as muck, but this lavender one is really pretty. It's in what i call my wild flower border outside the garden leading down to the field. Very nice.. may split it when it get's bigger and make it into the actual garden! I think it's a "swan" type.
Oh.. and whoever suggested the climbing hydrangea.. i was down the garden centre on saturday and picked one up
Lovely art - the third picture of the droopy bells is partcularly gorgeous - does it come from a bulb??
Andy -I love those fancy aquiliegia - I have added a few to my collection this year -all named after american states. I have lots of the native ones too - so hopefully they are something that likes my conditions.
Chicky, I think I got them in a plant auction last year; so just emptied the pots into the ground, but should imagine they are a bulb. They have multiplied quite a bit and formed a little clump in poor shallow soil, in pretty much full sun (ha, what full sun?)

Clematis "Rebecca". I need to move this as it's not getting enough sun, but is the reddest one I have growing:
Oriental poppies:
Peony in full bloom:
and lupins:
Lovely zingy colours Bob - the peony in particular is beautiful
Gorgeous Wisteria Chicky and what a beautiful clematis Bob. I actually like that one

I started a new thread today called "Painting what you've grown".Looking forward to seeing some art work.

those Nectoscordium are bulbs. they seed around nicely and are good in shade.
