Clematis durandii

Continuing on... High summer and this cascades over the wall and shows itself off against the dusky wall. A substantial wall it is to. Something that has been added to the humble abode to keep the sloping garden from sliding into the kitchen! The builder (a craftsman - retired) lives in Australia. How lucky then that his efforts should have made an impact on such a meagre plot in dear old Blighty.

Camelia 'Debbie'

It seems appropriate to swing across from the rhodedendrun toward the camelia. They sit side by side and compliment each other very well. I feel I ought to apologise for the picture, it does not show dear ol' Debbie at her best. - Maybe next year. Keep her watered during summer and the rewards really are massive!
