Thanks Sheila ... I hope it doesn't start shivering in this chilly weather!

Well spotted Shirley, it is a lovely one.

Kate, I think the plants must have been put out the night before we shopped as they looked so healthy. We have shopped there this morning and trays and trays of bedding are either dead or dying ... such a waste.

I think they should have one day a week of having the plants for sale, as I feel sure customers would flock in for their plants.

Thanks David, I can see it from the kitchen window so it almost makes washing the dishes a pleasure!

I wish I could see some flowers from our small window when I'm doing the dishes!

I think this is Mrs N Thompson. She always flowers early. Can’t be certain though. But it’s lovely!

Thanks Karen, I did attempt to find the variety on Taylors Clematis but gave up as it really doesn't matter!

Did you know Taylors are now part of the Sarah Raven group?

I didn’t Shirley. Thanks for letting me know. I shan’t be having many climbers here. I’ve gone off them. I might have a few more patio clems. And I have a Hydrangea seemanii and Akebia. I think that’s enough.

A lovely one Shirley. I hope it thrives for you. What a pity about those Supermarket plants. I do wish the growers wouldn’t do everything so early. You can’t rely on English weather& not everyone has a greenhouse to put things in. I’ m not buying anything until May 12th a birthday outing.However might even not bother then if it’s a freezing cold day.

Thanks Josie, I fully agree with you and it breaks my heart to see such waste.
