Bishop of Llandaff is a toughie, I came across what I thought was a red stone while cleaning up last year, it was the tuber grown to the surface! I tried to dig it up to bury it lower but it wouldn't budge, it had gone through a harsh winter and still grew.

The path behind the bed with the Acacia tree, the blue Hebe I grew from a cutting, it needs cutting back when it gets too big but it is good at replenishing itself. The bumblebees loved that last year, you can see a blue Buddleja next to it, it is a spreading one, loved by butterflies and bees.

Across the path is Forsythia Fiesta, it stays short and bushy and has lovely variegated leaves.

The Clematis tumbling is C flammula with Kasmu, flammula grew so many stems it got blown down by winds and took some rose branches with it as support, it is also heavily scented and flowers for ages.
