I love it too.  Is it a scented variety?  It puts me in mind of a passifllora.

Lorna, that is a beauty!!!

Carol & Georgie. Glad you both like it. Not scented I am afraid.As you know I am not an experienced gardener but just wanted to do something different. I know Plocket has got this one..I bought  it amongst others in a small lot at our local auction earlier in the year. I went mad!! I bought heathers, clems. several different shrubs. You are right Georgie it  does look a little like passiflora. I have one of those for the first time, I put it at the back end of my garage and it has dozens of buds and blooms. I have to leave all labels on as I just don't know plants LOL.. Did you see the dainty little Princess Diana on my other post.. Now for a question I keep meaning to ask, what can I grow that is heavily scented? Hope you can help. Lorna.

Lord Steve. Thank you kind sir. I am real chuffed... for a novice like me to get such praise. Watch out head swelling. Lorna.

Hi Lorna.  I'm trying to grow lots of scented plants too.  Apart from roses, which I don't care for, there are loads of herbs with lovely scents such as lavender, rosemary and thyme.  Flower wise, I think oriental lilies are hard to beat and Nicotiana is good too.  As for shrubs, I'd go for Jasmine and Evening primrose.

Lovely pics lorna, I don't know many clematis names but i"ve got a purple one out at the mo called "polish spirit" so it might be that  :)

Hello Lorna! That sieboldii is absolutely lovely! They are rather exotic flowers aren't they? Px

Lorna that is gorgeous

My thanks for all the kind comments..Within this next year I am hoping to get some more shrubs and also grow a few more veg. Daughter-in-law and one daughter came and claimed a nice feed of runners today. They  were  trying to see when the next cucumbers  will be ready!! Oh yes and daughter pinched the Gardeners delight which were JUST ready.. Georgie has very kindly sent me some borage seeds and also made some suggestions for scented  plants I can grow, I will get there in the end but I am so enjoying myself. I have plenty of time  to enjoy garden and it keeps me away from the dreaded housework ::). Best wishes and thanks Lorna.
