in this week's GW at point 6.06 a beautiful looking plant of what looked like golden bells as flowers were shown in the Penelope Hopgood garden. Do you know what it is?  I would very much like to buy it but have no idea what to search for.

    Do you have a photo Kim?

    The bells of Ireland were in the "cutting garden" in Derbyshire, not in Penny Hobhouse's garden.

    Thank you all for your input.  It is indeed Clematis Rehderiana and I will be looking to find one to suit my shady garden very soon.
