Thanks Karen, the frost took all the leaves, and some of the flowers, but it has bounced back thankfully......

I can’t tell you what a tonic this photo has been for me today. The flowers, the spring fresh foliage, the life in that bark....its really giving me a lift. Think I’ll use it as my homepage!

Oh Karen I am so flattered, pleased that it has lifted your spirits, hang on in there dear, Spring will eventually follow, albeit a tad late!

You are opening early June and so are we! so far behind at the moment! OH has had to re-sow as the first sowings died from the cold!

What will be will be though Angela....everyone knows how awful it has been. We are all in the same boat. :)

There have already been cancellations because of the awful Spring!

Gosh...cancellations. Well I suppose if ypu were going to open in May, or even April.....disaster! At least we will have the equivalent of a May garden in June (worst case), and May is so lovely when the sun shines.

Isn’t it Shirley! I think you’ll be getting one! :)

Hmm, it seems to be very rampant and I'm not sure I have anywhere suitable for one really.

Shirley we keep it well pruned, it’s growing up a 6ft Obelisk...and it has a beautiful perfume!!

Thanks Dotty ... perfumed too ... even more reason to plant one!

Yes, I used to hack mine back too. I have one in a large pot against a trellis. I don’t think it will flower this year, but we’ll see. The leaves are lovely too.
