Some of my spring clems are looking lovely at the moment, so I thought I'd share them:

"Pointy" and "Frances Rivis"

Pixie


Wesselton (not looking brilliant but pretty all the same)


Plenty more to come, Purple Spider will probably be next...

"New Wombat"? Are you one and the same? And yes that is the Jacob's ladder/climbing frame/trellis/stick thingy!

I have a teeny one in a pot taken from a cutting - must check out what it is.  Am going to rebuild an old arch for it to scramble up.  They are lovely Plocket, you must be very pleased, and I think Pixie is my fave.  Is it a wee one?

They are magnificent.  I can smell that Pixie through your lovely photo, and I can see why you are excited with Pointy.

EJ - yes Pixie is just a tiddler and will only grow to about 4-5ft - it likes the conifer I planted it beneath and really stands out well!

Hi Crackin'! I always find green flowers rather exotic for some reason! Pixie is a cutie but "Pointy" is stunning - the flowers are about 4 inches across, whereas the Pixie flowers are only about an inch! I can't smell Pixie either because the conifer is rather dominant!

I can't remember! I think it's 17 or 19!!! Let me just whiz round the garden....... 16 different varieties in the back and 3 different ones in the front. Some are duplicated though so I've got 23 plants in total! Not bad for a little garden!

Love the pics Plocket, especially the Frances Rivis. Wasn't sure about Pixie though but every time I go back for another look, I find Pixie starting to grow on me  ;D
