Clematis Empress......

Ah, you've remembered the name.

Yep ......

What have you got at the front of her? Variegated plant.

A Cornus Controversa variegata in a container, waiting patiently to be planted, moved from the middle of the lawn (the circular? one)...might go in where the black bamboo is, we are re-doing the grass border this Autumn...

Ah, yes, I have plants awaiting re locating. Tweaking is never finished.

We now have 4 plans for the Autumn......

Sounds like hard work. I have just 'mistakes' to rectify, that is move the taller plants behind the shorter ones.

Yes moving the black bamboo will be so difficult........not looking forward to that one bit!! have another part of the garden that needs attention making 5? projects now, getting too old really still it has to be done:-D:-D

When will these plants stop outgrowing their places, and the garden remain 'staged' like Chelsea for 'the moment'. You moments are 'Open Garden' days, mine my general satisfaction!

I now realise the. middle sized tree fern will have to be moved......yet again!! and something larger will have to go,,,,,,the Gunnera or Tetrapanax rex!! or try and reduce the size of the Gunnera perhaps? Oh dear decisions decisions, everything has outgrown it's allowed space this year.

We need extending boundaries.
