Olive and friends.

Billarderia with white berries. This is from seed from the plant with purple berries.
The olive tree has grown and grown. It flowers profusely and if you look closely you might be able to see tiny olives enlarging in the centre of the pic, maybe weather too inclement for them to ripen this year. The purple berried Billarderia is planted at the base .
The magenta flowers are from a Clematis viticella, think it is Rubra, but Ive forgotten as it is a cutting from my old original plant.
Weather dreadful today, wet and very windy, hopefully better tomorrow, so off to my allotment.

It is amazing your olive tree produced berries with the unsettled weather we have been having !
Love the clematis!

Siris, fingers crossed for the Olives to ripen. The weather was awful yesterday here, much better today so I have been in my happy place, the garden!

Pretty mix there, Sue. My Olive is growing well, no sign of fruit yet. I do get a few olives later in the year.

I tried an Olive last year, quite bitter, but I didnt process it.

Lovely to see. Shame about the weather. But sun is shining today so out on a motorbike with hubby for lunch.
I should be out in the garden really but there will be other days to go out.
