Is that what T&M called it? That's the name used for the native plant that grows in the hedgerows. I can't think that you'd have ordered one of them - or that T&M sell them. It should have a name...

That is lovely Floydie and it will be so small this will need potting up, maybe until next spring. I am a bit cross at T&M for their common name, because 'Old Man's Beard' refers to the wild clematis in the hedgerows as Geranium said. Would you rather call it Old Man's Beard or Empress? It looks like an Empress to me.
