An oriental garden in Ireland, growing some tropical and sub-tropical flowers, fruit and vegetables

purple clematis

between the fake caster oil plants, the clematis is in full bloom.

i knew i could hide that drain pipe and that looks like some leaves mixed in from one of the passion fruits that have been planted in that area.

this has been a really hard part of the garden to 'hide'. you think when people build an outbuilding in their property, they would think of the entire project rather than just what they can see.

not just for cosmetic reasons but to prolong the length of the building and increase the value of their property.

however the clematis is my favourite and encountered an issue a few weeks later, possible with a cat and most of the plant died.

the good news is it recovered the following year.... and then it happened again.

but b the third year it grew to new strengths and is today (real time) the most impressive clematis in all of the gardens.
