'Mrs Cholmondeley'

Mrs Cholmondeley looks quite well from "back" as well. ;) This year blooms seem to be under control in size...I am not fond of "plates".

Double Clematis

Probably Clematis "Proteus", not that I have ever bought or planted it. One of those life's mysteries. Has been blooming in my garden for number of years. Double, spectacular blooms on last year's vines.

'Inspiration'

Clematis integrifolia Inspiration 'Zion'. I grew this one from a tiny cutting. I like the color, the type and the name! :)

'Durandii'

Integrifolia x durandii, one of my favorites. Very vigorous for me from day one. I have had it for 5-6 years and have a problem accommodating it in the area I hoped x durandii would not leave. For some reason most of the roses and Clematis do not listen to common sense of books written about them and exceed the maximum heigh and width.

Rose 'Pat Austin'

Orange blend, Pat Austin. A beautiful and fragrant English Rose. Unfortunately the weak necks can not support the gorgeous flowers.

'Rüütel'

I just love this one recently. Some may need sunglasses! ;) 'Rüütel' (means "Knight").

Digitalis

Foxglove/Digitalis purpurea

Pink Aquilegia

This time the pink one cought my eye. ;) Aqulegia.

Rain...

Rain,rain and more rain but the first blooms open nevertheless. Rose "William Morris".

DA's 'Winchester Cathedral'

It has been in my garden for five seasons. David Austin's 'Winchester Cathedral'. Pretty blooms. Sometimes with a few pink petals as well. First bloom of this year. "Winchester Cathedral' is my weakest rose and this year it is its last chance to improve or it goes. :(

Poppy

Red Poppy.

Aquilegia

Aquilegia, the darkest form I have.

Rose 'Cornelia'

A Hybrid Musk, Rose 'Cornelia' (Pemberton 1925). Grown from a cutting, beautiful pink blend blooms with very distinguish raspberry colored buds. Have three mature specimens in the ground and gave many away. Very easy rose to grow from cuttings.

Calanthe sieboldi ( Ebine 海老根 )

Thew are from my friends garden. One day I have to start collecting those beauties...They are on my wish list! Where will I put them? Well... I will worry then! ;) Calanthe.
