The one you don't know is Teucrium chamaedrys - Wall Germander - cos I grow that as well! ;D Thank you for naming it Geranium ;D A member of our gardening club gave it to me as a small cutting but didn't know its name. Its grown into quite a shrubby plant and I wonder whether I should give it a trim after flowering to keep it tidy. What do you do?

So long as the bees know what it is, it looks a bit like Salvia.

Grindle, they are gorgeous and fuchsias are not my favourite, but some are very nice, and that bottom pic is a lovely colour. The clematis are worth propagating.
I mentioned on here that I accidently cut one stem of Clematis macropetala, so i cut it into three and rooted each one. They are healthier than the small ones from mail order companies. Bigger, with good root systems. They have been potted on and are outside.
