Lol, Karen, you'll remember I planted it to tone down the orange of the Honeysuckle? The Clem. has a smaller flower than I thought, I like it though. My poor old 'Bill MacKenzie' has gone to Clem. heaven, had him for about six years so I shouldn't complain really. He was dead right down to his roots. : o ((

Oh dear! Poor Bill.....still, there are nicer clems aren't there. He's a bit rampant for my tastes!! Yes, I do remember you planting this with the honeysuckle. Any flowers on the honeysuckle yet?

Lots of clusters in bud, so not long until they open. Everything is springing back to life, including the Bindweed from next door! Grrr!!

Motty, it's a new one for me this year, I've just noticed lots of 'Cuckoo spit' on it and have washed most of it off as not sure if the little green bugs inside are harmful? ... Thanks, Rose, i've waited ten years for this pergola .. lol! ... Pp, I'm hoping it'll take the brightness of the orange Honeysuckle away! : o )

Another lovely Clem..I hope you find it does appear to tone down the honeysuckle,Shirley..you will be much happier if it does,won't you ?...I'm amazed you allow 'that' colour in your garden at all.Lol.

Hmm, well Sandra, the Honeysuckle was described as pink with hints of orange so I thought I could cope with it! Still looking for the pink in it . . . .
