Jackson: if you want a really hardy Clematis try 'Clematis montana rubra.' I have two in my garden and they have withstood 100MPH winds and temperatures as low as -21°C. It has pink flowers in April/May.

I can't even cope with the dried dead ones, let alone the wiggly ones. My partner once threw a pack of dried meal worms at me for a joke, I thought I almost had a panic attack! Orrible things!!

Hi Babs, what a beautiful story, a robin making its nest in a cycling helmet; how privileged Lee must have felt.

What a lovely occasion it must have been in school Assembly when the children and Staff were treated to Lee's tale. :smile:

Compo, I'll seek out the clematis you suggest. It always devastates me if something that I've planted dies. I've 'lost' an Acer in my front garden - I think I may have planted it too near my glorious Magnolia Tree - every day I take a look out of the window just hoping that a tiny leaf has appeared . . :mellow:

Hi Babs, took some photographs of my Magnolia tree today; it's put on such a magnificent show this year. The blossoms don't last long, already the tree's fallen petals - like huge petalled confetti - are decorating my garden; it's almost as though there's been a wedding. :smile:
