First Clematis hirsutissima in flower today, also Cassiope lycopodioides.

Very nice.   Is that Haberlea to the left of the Cassiope photo?

thank you to both of you.
i think it's probably that species... the leaves and stems look similar.
perhaps a particularly large variant: i've seen it trellised on a gable, that's something!

Thank you Mariette!  You are right, 'Marjorie Brown' is with Chionoscilla allenii. Wonderful deep blue bulb. A lot better than Scilla bifolia which is believed to be one of the parents.

Fuchsia regia ssp regia is a "rampant liana" according to a note I made.

I have an old Fuchsia regia ssp. reitzii but it is only about one metre high, much smaller than my magellanica. Stiff stems, defintely not a liana.  I can't remember where I bought it, but it seems mis-named.
