Beautiful garden Paul. I am curious as to what the yellow flowers are, they look a bit like Chinese lanterns.

Paul, I have a passion flower too, but it seems to be taking over my small garden. It's made its way over everything else, even pulling down the boughs of an old apple tree. I was a bit disappointed that although it seems to have loads & loads of buds, only one or two flowers appear at any one time. Is that normal? And when should I prune it?

On the patio picture it is the large growth in the left hand raised bed. We have another in the front garden both are very prolific producing these flowers and the silky heads that you can see in the background. |

I was a bit disappointed that although it seems to have loads & loads of buds, only one or two flowers appear at any one time. Is that normal? And when should I prune it? This one has been flowering for several months now At its peak it has maybe 20 or more flowers open at a time and many more buds. It now has quite a lot of fruit but this never ripens (ripe fruit is purple) as we don't get long enough hot summers. Ours started as a small plant three years ago and now fills the wall it is on and makes its way over the roof of the summer house. You can see this in the first picture where it is growing over the summer house from its position on the shed wall. It is planted in a small space about 2 feet by 1 foot and what you can't see on the pic is the way it also spreads out from the bottom attempting to take over the patio that is up there. After it has died down for the winter the PMZ hacks most of it down No particular pruning is done just hack it all back to very short. |

We have another in the front garden both are very prolific producing these flowers and the silky heads that you can see in the background. I think it's Clematis tangutica - in which case it's a species that grows naturally in the wild, rather than a variety which has been cultivated. But there are similar cultivars, so I wouldn't go to the wall on this. |

I have just found the nursery label under all that growth it is a Clematis Orientalis Bill Mackenzie Yes, Bill Mackenzie is the most popular variety of this clematis but there are now smaller tanguticas on the market. My Bill Mackenzie grew very large and only met it's end around ten years ago when we had a huge storm and a rowan tree blew over and took the fence and Bill with it. The plant never came back. |
