This plant attracts butterflies, particularly Red Admirals , in late summer.

Very pretty, but tends to be a bit of a 'thug' in the garden and outgrow its space very quickly. I had to remove my specimen as it spread too much.

Not hardy enough for North Yorkshire. Died in the severe winter of 2009/2010

This Clematis does not perform well in my garden The flowers are poor and very quickly turn brown. It will be removed and replaced with a different variety.

This very attractive plant is susceptible to damage by cats. I have tried twice to grow it beyond one season, but the local felines seemed to find it irresistible and chewed it to the ground.

Variety 'Sorbus aucuparia Fructo Lutea' bears yellow fruit in Autumn

A Solitary Wool Carder bee was attracted to this plant in my garden. A very possessive insect which attacked other bees, Visited daily until the flowers faded.

This rose may sometimes bloom with paler flowers during its second flush. Advice from David Austin Roses is that the colour can be variable when the petals are thin.

An attractive rush, but be careful where you plant it. I planted it in the wrong position for a couple of years and found it very difficult to remove! Hence I no longer have the plant.

An intriguing variety of Hardy Geranium which will 'pop up' flowering on long stems quite a distance from it's root. Will root very freely where the stems touch the soil. Will also clamber through other plants making an interesting addition to many blooms. Word of warning - it can become quite invasive.
