That's a pretty Clematis Geranium. I have just recently bought five different Clematis for my garden, so thats none...to five within a fortnight! They are: H. F. Young, very large mid-pale blue flowers. Fond Memories, palest pink with deep rose edging. Rebecca, rich and deep velvety red medium sized flowers from May-Sept. Madame Julia Correvon, rich pinky-red typical four petalled viticella type. ...and just today Blue Angel, beautifully puckered light powder blue flowers like an extra large viticella type. |

I'll post some pics of Blue Angel as cut flowers if I can find a thread for cut flowers. If not, I'll just have to create it!  |

I have 'Blue Angel', Fractal, and it meanders through two Spiraea, a Hebe and up into the Aucuba. It's a very healthy Clematis! I'd never have thought of cutting it. |

What a lovely sight, Fractal! This is the Echinacea I bought last week. I found the label and it's Echinacea purpurea 'Sundown'. It's the perfect 'tone' for the stream bank colours.  The other Echinacea planted last year has flowered - it's E. 'Cheyenne Spirit'. I posted its photo here because it's right next to 'Sundown'.  |

Thanks Geranium. I'll have to take a few shots with my better camera instead of the mobile |

While we were in Norfolk, I bought a Campanula Punctata Rubriflora for £2.99 now split into 6 plants.  |

Yes, Tel, I think I prefer it to the white one I've got. I must look out for one like yours. |

Love the colour of your Campanula Tel, you got a real bargain there. I often buy plants when we visit my daughter in Norfolk, they are much better value there, bigger plants for less money! Geranium, that's a very pretty Echinacea, haven't seen one that colour before. SteveN, your parents' fence with the brick pillars and lovely plants is very attractive |

Ooooh, what a lovely Campanula, I want. Adding that to my list of plants to keep an eye out for.

You've all bought some lovely plants recently.
My most recent one is Euphorbia cyparissias 'fens ruby'
I bought it, and also a cactus, when I went to Carmarthen on the bus this week.
I always get people looking at me carrying plants on the bus when I go there ... I don't know what they must be thinking (and I don't care !)
I'll have to take a photo of it to show you.
I'm going to plant it under a holly tree where there'a a very annoying gap at the moment. |

I hope it isn't a thug, @hywel. I have a Euphorbia cyparissias which most certainly is! Mine would fll your garden, let alone the annoying gap.  |
