Just added some pics to my album on the a4all group. Only a couple of building work update pics and some winter containers if anyone is interested.  :)

Very nice Richard, what is that lovely long leaved plant in the terrace shot high up on the fence? ;D

Thanks Roy. Clematis armandii. Just coming into flower now.

Most of the pictures are quite old (last summer), but they give some idea of the geography of my garden. i've just added a few winter updates today.

I've just scoured google and can't get to see a decent close up of the leaves, none look as long fingered as the one you have there, do you have another name to its variety? ??? and a close-up shot of the leaves would be most appreciated. 8)

'Fraid not Roy. Plant was supplied to me unnamed (or name lost) could be 'Apple Blossom' (?) or maybe just plain C. armandii.

Nice plant though. I especialy like the new growth - it has a wonderfull red-bronze colour to it.

No go on close ups either I am afraid. I usualy take close ups of things in flower, which would normally include foloage as well. I've had a look in 'the archive' and cant find one of this plant. Sorry.

If you dont mind waiting I can try and take one, but it wont be until next week as i dont have access to my digicamera at the moment.
