Cool Calycanthus

Two Cool Calycanthus flowering in the garden this week

Calycanthus x raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine'

Calycanthus 'Venus'

One More Wisteria!

This Wisteria has more names than you can shake a stick at but according to Peter Valder there is only one Double Flowering form of Wisteria & the most valid cultivar name is 'Violacea Plena'. Other names it is commonly sold under are 'Black Dragon', 'Kokuryu' & 'Yae Kokuryu'.

Odd Man Out!

A not very green plant in a very green garden!

Acer pseudoplatanus 'Esk Sunset'

Two more Wisteria pics from the Garden..

The super long racemes of 'Macrobotrys'

'Honbeni' also known as Pink Ice.

Wisteria 'Burford'.

If you are looking for a Wisteria that is quick to flower then Burford isn't for you! But if you are looking for a Wisteria that's ultimately great it could just be what you are looking for!!

Alien Invader!

Well about as dangerous as!!
