Colour Continues

Having posted my new Teddy Bear mug, I thought I would start this garden post with pictures of my gardening mugs. On the inside it says, "A gardener's work is never at an end" and I can vouch for that. I can also say how worthwhile and satisfying it is as well as helping keep one fit.







Some more Clematis
Campanala








And of course more Roses
And some shrubs
I am off now to do some of that work that is never ending in the glorious sunshine that we are having today. I may be naughty and sit with an ice-cream first. Have a great weekend all my dear blogging friends.
I will soon be coming up to my hundredth post and will have some surprises so keep visiting and sign up if you want to take part in my Giveaway.

I love the mug. I have a gardening mug as well, given to me by a former student (I have acquired many mugs that way :).

So, what are we giving away???? Sounds like fun. With your good taste I am sure it is something lovely. Count me in!!

is that a Nelly Moser, the first clemetis? I really struggle with clemetis in my garden. I have optimistically planted some more this year and keep hoping.

Oh wow!! I actually recognized your Clematis. But I did call my husband {the Gardner} in to verify that I was right. Just beautiful.

And the blue is also a Clematis? Double maybe? We've not seen these.

And oh the roses!!! We are much later here, and no roses yet. He loves 'Old Roses' and has planted quite a few. As you know, they look differnt. They don't really *look like roses.* :-) But, they are.

When they begin to bloom, I'll be sure to put up pics. :-)

Hope you enjoyed your ice cream, first!!! :-)

Barbara: Thanks for the comments on clemetis. I have planted yet another Montana and hopfully this time it will survive. I have put in by a beech hedge so that the roots are shaded, and already the new foliage is shooting up through the hedge. I'm sure it will be beautiful when it flowers.
