Well I thought I wouldn’t be able to join in again this week, but nature has a way of proving us wrong and issuing out more delights for us to enjoy in our gardens and that’s certainly been the case this week, with plants just starting their 2nd or even 3rd flush in my small Hampshire garden. Well here’s my 6 for this week, I hope you enjoy seeing them on the web as much as I enjoy them in my garden
Well that’s my 6 on Saturday, I hope you enjoyed them! This brilliant meme is hosted by https://thepropagatorblog.wordpress.com/, there’s some other very good 6 on Saturday there, please take a look and enjoy them, I know I will
Another good Six, Thomas. This rose business is beginning to take hold in my garden. I have 4 danse de feu cuttings that survived, plus a couple of mysteries, plus the two I bought the other day. Plus the parent danse de feu. More cuttings this winter and more roses added next year. Need a bigger garden…
That’s a nice selection, Thomas. The clematis intrigues me. Charlie Pridham (http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk) who holds a national collection of viticella, lists one for sale as simply “Clematis viticella” which looks remarkably like yours. So you may have a parent plant there. Since seeing that photo of the scary boot you have to wear, I haven’t asked about the leg. I guess it’s still causing a lot of trouble but hope it is, if slowly, getting better.
Thank you John 😀it does me, hoping to have a good look over this week and see if I could get a name, my gut feeling is that you are right, it’s the basic form of viticella. Many thanks john, it’s getting there, the crutches are almost gone, hoping the boot will be off in a month 😀
The clematis picture just sent me scurrying out in the rain to see if the almost identical plant I have was flowering, which it is. I grew a few seedlings from a plant in my parents garden, perhaps 35-40 years ago. I think the one I have now may be a second generation version. I don’t know what the parent plant was and I’ve never been sure what mine is, but a viticella type, fairly close to the species, was what I thought most likely.
Would be great to see a pic of yours 😀 great that you have a plant from your parents garden, must admit I think that’s my gut feeling, it’s the basic form of viticella,

Thank you 😊 they are so addictive aren’t they, I keep thinking about spaces to fit another one in, lol I know that feeling 😀😀
