So many gardeners in Perthshire lost their Armandii a few years ago that I've always been hesitant in buying one.

How lovely to see Clematis Cirrhosa - I am a massive fan of it even though it likes to romp. You have so much in flower and I am particularly delighted to see that it's Pulmonaria time. I am now going to brave these high winds and inspect our Pulmonaria to see if there are any flowers.

Reticulata are more difficult to do well with, so they say, so yay to you!! I think the foliage of Reticulata is finer and more grass like, whereas Histrioides are spear-like. I believe the flowers are very similar.Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-49048194882693087992014-02-18T06:08:30.792-08:002014-02-18T06:08:30.792-08:00You have so much blooming!
