Canary Ivy - Climbing Hydrangea (yet to flower) - Victoria Creeper.  Which worries me a lot - it's going all around the house & up the chimneys & aerials etc. And the cost of controlling it would be huge. Even without that, everything has to be cut down below the guttering at least once a year.

And the Ivy - we have to cut it away from the windows at least 3 times a year. A mixed blessing?? Be warned!

Very beautiful Tim.  :D  I learnt a lesson with my weigela this year.  Someone told me to prune it hard last year, which I did.  Of course, weigela flowers on last year's growth so I was left with very little flowering but just like yours, it produced a mass of pink !
