Still colourful - this is the common Montbretia - no idea of its name.

is the Montbretia an evergreen one?

No Teds these of mine all die back in winter and re-appear in summer, it is a very big thug this one.

Your Rhus looks healthy, Olive. Watch out for the running shoots though.

already got them Alan, they are easy to take out though, just pull em up when I am weeding. This one got badly damaged in the storms one night last year. It has done well to recover so well. :O) thanks for the advice, I knew they did runners when they are stressed, self preservation I suppose and it is certainly a good self preserver. lol.
