Thank you. I had almost written off the clematis montana a few weeks ago - the plant looked dead. It is in a very large pot but this is still restricting it's growth. However we have about a dozen flowers on it now.
Lovely flowers Bob - is the last gorgeous white flower an anemone? It is perfect - beautiful. Yes the heucheras are lovely, are they evergreen - do they die down in the winter?
Yes, anemone blanda which are quite variable. The heucheras keep going all winter although some of them look a bit disheveled by the end of it but they soon perk up when spring arrives.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Your blanda looks a whole lot healthier than mine - when I bought them (2), they were in flower and looked lovely, however they are struggling in their new home, I may have to move them yet again.
I have just bought some heucheras for the first time, the foliage is attractive - a yellowish one and a redish one - I have put them around the pond to add all year round interest.

Wallflowers Winter Passion
"Winter Passion" has a lovely warm glow Liri. I haven't grown honesty for some years. Maybe time to do so again.
That's a lovely honesty, Yvie. Might give it a try...
Sorry Yvie, mixing you up with Liri

Lovely, GD!
Here are a few from my garden today:
Bob, the heucheras give such a lovely splash of colour.
GD, the sun is bringing out the depth of colour in your flowers.
