      Mock orange? Pittosporum? Very popular as a landscape plant ๐ŸŒฑ in CA. I didnโ€™t know it could survive cold.

      Maybe there are different kinds.

      [edit]. Yes there are. Pittosporum is the one I know. The one you have in the wild is probably Philadelphus. Theyโ€™re both called mock orange.

          Great flower show!!

          @AndyD - that pale pink one in the last photo is a columbine (Aquilegia).

                I love Clematis. I put one in, bright purple, when I first moved here. It is not doing so good this year and maybe it's time to replace it.

                This crossed my path this evening and I really loved it. Thought maybe some here would appreciate it and perhaps get inspiration from it...

                  We have two clemati on either side of our front walk. The purple one is struggling a bit but looks better than it ever has. The other one was spectacular this year for the first time. We had a lot of rain--and we had to cut down a tree so they are getting more light this year.

                    That looks so perfect I want to check it's not fake ๐Ÿ˜„ At Singapore Airport the first time in '93 I could hardly believe the thousands of orchids were real and my then fiance was highly amused as I went over to check.

                          That is lovely.

                          Don't think I've said we went to an open garden thing last weekend (entrance fee goes to charity) in Great Langton, N Yorkshire.
                          All agreed it was the nicest house& garden we've visited. Here's a few photos

                          I went to their loo in the old backyard washroom and passed a stick barometer and bird frame mirror, both from the early 1800's.
                          The entrance/exit by the back yard was through a low ancient toolshed, and had swallows flying in & out feeding their fledglings.

                          The owners farm the adjacent land, this garden is her (30 year) hobby. There were jersey cows 50 yards from the front door.
                          So beautiful.

                              Reading about walnut trees, I discovered they are never felled. The wood is so valuable they are dug out!

                                    Two kinds of thyme. One is lemon thyme and I donโ€™t remember what the other one is.

                                      I love that windblown and wild English garden type of garden. Especially with lots of roses.

                                      Our tiger lilies are about to bloom. Our yellow rambling roses are about done. The deep purple clematis is making a fine show. Still waiting for my pink antique damask roses to bloom--tons of buds swelling, but no flowers yet. Maybe they need food? We have lots of blue flax blooming, too. I still have so much weeding to finish so I can get my annual seeds in before it is too late. The tomato bed is ready--just have to wait for the winter weather to pass.

                                        My roses are very young and probably not in ideal locations to thrive. But I have two blossoms!
