It's gorgeous, Oliveoil :-))))))
I love clematiseseses ;-)

How tall? flowering when?....

Asao? Pink champagne?

Gorgeous flower whatever the name

Too dark for Asao, but think (after looking at Taylors site) Pink Champagne looks spot on, didn't seen that one last year, but it certainly looks like it is, been out and had another look at mine and it does have a darker edge same as theirs, so think you need yet another pat on the back well done and thank you for naming it. Probably would grow taller if it didn't intertwine in the holly and honeysuckle so much and I do only trim it back slightly each year. Thank you again, will save you some seed from my aquilegia. will have to think of a name for her any ideas, Miss Pom Pom or Frilly Lilly? sound like something from a stage show eh!!

aha! eureka! It does look exactly like the photo in the new Taylors catalogue...which comes in very handy as a reference! I wish someone would bring out a really good encyclopedia of clems...it would be a book I would definitely buy!

Me too, think I have caught your bug, love them, wish I had a walled in garden then I could grow them all the way along, we are never happy are we? If it rains we moan if it is too hot we moan, gardens not big enough, need more space to grow, want more plants, must be an illness!! but what a good one to have buying plants and spending time in the garden - got a name for the condition Gardenitus, beats tonsillitus any day! Bye the way yes read your blog loved the pictures, wish I had been there with you both, it looks fantastic, I love rhodies but I love all plants so nothing new there eh!

You could always start cutting out the wood and planting rhodys in there instead!! After all, that's what the gardener did at Glendoick. It was just scrub and woodland when he started!...Of course, he was a successful Mill Owner so I guess he had the money...and the staff!! Mind you...you also have the staff don't you! Get the mole catcher in there with his chainsaw and digger!! :))

beautiful.....
