Kristl,

Love those Clematis (and your other pics too!!  Such a cute Digitalis).  I didn't realise that C. stans came in other colours.  I got stans years and years ago but haven't seen it since then.  It seeds around very very lightly, and I love the way it grows and the way it flowers all summer if you give it an occasional trim.  Mine is the lavendery one, but I do like that pink.

Great pics as always! 8)

I have to say I agree with Paul that pink stans is lovely.  Our campsis radicans is not even in bud yet!

Derek,

Your 'not duchartrei' looks like henryi.

...or L. rosthornii, they are separated by the position of the seed pods.

Brian, that's amazing about the timing difference with the Campsis---especially considering we have had almost constant rain this season. Some of the flowers are already way past finished!!!! The only thing to explain it, I suppose, is that I have a very exposed, large garden. Late in the spring, but once I do the catch-up, things just zoom along at a vigorous pace.

Kristl, the difference in timing between parts of the country/world/even garden I find amazing.  Some snowdrops I grow flower weeks apart from other people who are just a few miles away.  Nature is it's own master!

I have a friend 20 minutes from here in the same city, and the difference between the timing of things in her garden and mine is unbelievable.  Some things flower earlier for her than me, and other things the opposite.  hers is mostly a more sheltered, older garden while mine is much more open and severe.  Some times our gardens are in synch with each other and sometimes we might as well be on different planets..... well, almost!  ;) ;D

Why is it that so many yellow daisies (dandelion, senecios and many more) turn one's "nice" feelings right off while a cremanthodium makes one feel all warm and fuzzy? It's not just that it's relatively difficult while the others are weeds. Something about its statuesqueness maybe? The Norwegians do them so well. Thanks for this one Magnar. I don't believe we have any at all in NZ so we only see them on the Forum. :'(

The Water lilies have started the real show now.
First: Attraction, Then Mooreii and Colossea,
The white one is probably Gladstoniana. I got it under the name Pöstlingberg but i think that this is wrong.
At least one big seller of waterlilies has simply given parts of his stock names that sell better  >:(
Thus there are a number of misnamed (but easily propagated) plants out there.
Some waterlilies are more ball shaped like the red James Brydon and the white Gonnere.

Lilium nepalense and Arisaema tortuosum (130cm) are flowering in my garden - after weeks with a lot of rain and very cold weather.

Just to let you know why there is a lack of posts form Aberdeen, Maggi has been struck down with a bad case of labrynthitis and I am working my way through the bulbs and trying to be a good nurse.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as Maggi can stand up without falling over.
