Leadfarmer, another hooray, I bought a Pilu this year and at last I found Dr. Ruppel that I so admired in one of your earlier pics.
Good choice BL. They are both wonderful.
My Piilu was a lucky random find in the garden section of a big DIY store a few years ago. They were selling them at £1 as they appeared dead (it was winter!!!). Naturally I acted dumb and bought a couple.
I'm really enjoying my honeysuckle just now, and so are the bees. It's alive with them and the smell is divine, especially first thing in the morning. As it's right by my gate I pass by many times each day and it's a grand thing to look and sniff at.
Lovely photo's of your garden stars, As always i love the buddleia keen1. Bobthegardeners Hagley Hybrid intrigues me, have you had that long? Nice to see the bee's getting a free feed FG, also i see a spider on the top photo on the "11 'o'clock" petal. or is it just me?

LF- they had a lot of those last time I was in aforementioned DIY store -nearly bought some as they looked lovely!
Not for a quid though

I have Dahia Honka on Verdun recommendatiion. It has leaves but not showing much interest in flowering
. I also have Stipa Gigantica in the front. It is new so not very tall or large yet but full of promise.
My other star - clematis x triternata 'Rubromarginata'
I love the way it's almond scent drifts aound the patio.
has sufered a litle in rain yeaterday though
Faiygirl that is lovely as is the clematis Matty- shame we can't smell it though.
That's a very bonny clematis Matty. I'm not familiar with that one at all but it's a gem
Is it easy to grow and what sort of size does it get to?
