      Despite the gremlins getting at your phone and camera Philip, the new phone seems to be doing a good job. :)

          The small gap between the wall and the black matting is where the Clematis is coming through,..i hope to get a cutting when a suitable piece comes through.

          Sedum 'Dragons Blood',..i tend to use Sedum in a container where there is a rose or similar,..just to keep the container from being dried out from the sun,..it works.

                I like seeing the new young birds but always fear for their survival as they have never confronted Cats and i have just the one.

                    Clivia 'Minata',..starting to bloom again this Summer,..the seeds of this plant were sown in 2013 and arrived from Texas America.

                    I had to remove some of the foliage to help the buds expand.

                    Two No Id Roses,..both cuttings taken from the same parent plant,..one has always got a white streak but not the other.

                              Lovely Philip. T'other Half doesn't like Roses because they have thorns ... but is happy with Bougainvillea which has daggers for thorns (but won't trim them)! :what:
