Our garden on return from holiday ...

Looking well watered then, Sheila! Lots of colour and healthy greenery too. Your verbena looks gorgeous!
Greenhouse looking full of pretty plants waiting to be planted out! Hope you had a restful and lovely time away.

lovely Sheila, it is always an anxious time when we go away. I had to remind Victoria to water the greenhouse while we were away last week.

The weeds have taken advantage of the rain too. :o(

Kate, thank you. Yes, we had a wonderful week in a villa overlooking Lake Annecy … perfectly relaxing 🙂.

Eileen, thank you. Do you have any idea of the name of the white clematis?

Ooh, sounds just perfect, Sheila! I’m pleased you had a lovely time! 😊

Sheila, could your Clematis be 'Guernsey Cream' ? Mine is flowering now and looks similar.

Henryi, Miss Bateman or Tsukiko. are the ones that sort of fit.

I think Tsukiko looks the closest. Do any of the names ring a bell?

Shirley and Eileen, thanks very much. Maddening, but none ring a bell. If I could even remember who I bought it from, it might help! I usually keep labels carefully, so will have another hunt …

is it a seiboldii doing the all white thing before having the other coloured petals as it ages?

Some lovely colours and plants in that mix.

Thanks Cal 🙂.

Eileen, no mention of sieboldii on the label, but it’s too early to tell. Well done for identifying it as Tsukiko (I’ve finally hunted out the label) … I’m very grateful 🙂.

No problem :)

Sheila, I just viewed images of C. Tsukiko, very attractive and flowers from May to October, lovely!

All looking spring fresh, Sheila - pretty plants. Good to hear you had a relaxing holiday.

Lovely plants. Glad that you had a good hol.

Oooh Shirley, thank you … maybe that’s why I bought it ?!

Many thanks Ange, very kind of you 🙂.

Thank you too Josee, we were lucky with the weather and the peaceful location.

Holiday sounds very relaxing Sheila, everything all cared for and looking lush in the g'house, lot of colour in the garden to welcome you home Sheila..x

Sheila, any Clematis with a long flowering period has to be a good buy!

Thanks very much Sue.

That’s true Shirley!

:o))

Pleased you had a good holiday Sheila and the rain just helped to keep your lovely garden healthy!

Thank you Rose … some rain is always welcome in this dry Spring.
