Newly-developed garden

Good start there...:)))

Thanks Crissue. Some of the plants can't be seen from the angle I took the photo. There are penstemons, a campanula groundcover, aquilegia, liriope muscari purple & a lovely heuchera called Amethyst Myst. I also have the hosta 'Fire & Ice' to go in there as well, when I am well enough to get out into the garden again in a few days. The border extends either side of that corner, so will take another photo as everything begins to grow a bit more.

Sounds like you've acheived a lot already...don't overdo it...(she says) nursing all my achey bits lol...Will google the Amethyst Mist, sounds gorgeous...all the other plants will look great too...Fire & ice is a lovely Hosta...Love the Clem...it looks really contented there...I bought Ernest Markham Clem on Saturday after seing Motinots beautiful display of Blooms on one of her pics...
Look forward to seing your new pics :)))

After a day of drizzling rain yesterday, the heaven's opened & we had hours of torrential relentless rain. I lay in bed wondering how my clematis was going to look in the morning. So this morning, the first thing I did was popped my head out the guest bedroom window to have a look. I was expecting to see a very bedraggled & limp clematis, but there is was looking happily back up at me. Obviously, these NZ natives are a hardy breed! I do love the more showy clematis, but I think they will probably be a bit more temperatmental than this one, so I will wait a bit before trying to put one of them in. This native one is very pretty, & there are two more native ones I have discovered ... both white, but with different stamens, which I will put in somewhere also.

Allo sounds good, except the rain...
