I certainly miss having a garden to play around with, but even more, I miss the joy of the new things coming up. The persistence of those tough but tiny buds pushing up through the hard ground in Spring is the absolute high light of a gardening year.

This is not a place where one might imagine Noel Coward in silk dressing gown, sipping coffee while wafting a long, slender cigarrette holder about and humming 'Mad about the boy.' <BR/><BR/>Arabella, I remember the vicious winter of 1979 after which my double Clematis 'Countess of Lovlace' produced pale green flowers instead of the usual mauve-blue.Plant Mad Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051715161395516677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-1343918255211646172009-01-07T14:56:00.000+00:002009-01-07T14:56:00.000+00:00Sounds lovely.Twice recently I've had, not exactly...Sounds lovely.<BR/><BR/>Twice recently I've had, not exactly nightmares, but disconcerting dreams about plants and flowers which have lasted into January suddenly copping it in front of my night-time eyes, all in vivid colour and drooping.<BR/><BR/>There are paving stones outside my kitchen door. I wish they were a terrace. They are not. And although I don't precisely know what a patio is, I steadfastly refuse to own one. (Some lingering snobbery, I suspect.) Couldn't possibly call it a 'paved area' (too bald) . . . but 'let's sit outside the kitchen door' is without romance. So I don't mention it.<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-72237936130509851232009-01-07T12:28:00.000+00:002009-01-07T12:28:00.000+00:00In spite of hard frosts I have two flowers on my p...In spite of hard frosts I have two flowers on my potted clematis florida sieboldii.

There's always 'Bowles Mauve' for any apricot hue haters out there.<BR/><BR/>My Lonicera's still steadfastly in bud - I think it's sulking because it's so cold it was -6 last night!
