Clematis armandii is now full bloom !!

Very pretty :o)

Thank you Terratoonie,
It's extremly interesting to know that the same plant blooms at the same time in so distant places.

breeze

Yes, I thought the same thing.
Blossoming simultaneously in Osaka and Britain. :o)
I wonder if this applies to many of our plants...

>I wonder if this applies to many of our plants...
So do I very much.
The lowest temperature in my zone is -4℃.

breeze

Yes, - 4 C would probably be about the lowest in my garden.
Highest would be about 32 C. in a very hot summer.

Terra.

Stunning Breeze....absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous......................

Terratoonie,
The highest temp.would be 38C in my zone. It doesn't come down even at night.
That' the problem.Those vulnerable to heat could not oversummer.
That why the perrenials do not grow as vigorously as in the UK.
We Japanese garden addicts all envie you climate.

Janey ,Milky,

Thank you for your compliments.

Bliss - as I'm looking for things to grow in shade/semi shade .....how does this little one feel? Does it need full sun or is it a little forgiving?.....and thats the first time i've ever known of anybody who envied our climate! I DREAM of 38C!

Tosh, I'm afraid this isn't hardy enough for your climate.
Why don't you ask for some UK expert's advice?

Thank you

What a shame - ~I'll just have to keep watching your photos! No hardship there!!! Love your pictures.
