This is mainly about clematis and they were taken a few days ago when it was still sunny.
There is more of the Lemon Dream they are so dainty 
and here they are seen from below.
At the other end of the garden my Diana’s Delight clematis has started to flower. 
Interestingly they have different numbers of petals.
Here is one with six petals 
and this one has eight. 
I also took a photograph of my lily-of-the-valley, that is always hard to do justice to. 
I even brought a few indoors.
Lastly I love the shape of rose buds and I chose this one. 
You may have noticed that I enjoy using the vignette option in my photograph program.
So I created this that I thought might work well for a birthday card. 
Experimenting a bit more I created this 
and removing just the central part 
you get a picture with a misty surround.

Your garden is so advanced compared to ours-we still have daffodils. I love what you have done with the rose picture- yes it would make a lovely birthday card.

I remember visiting Manchester area once (not as far north as you I know) and it was noticeably colder than here. Still daffodils are lovely and you’ll have roses in due course.

So lovely, especially the lily of the valley. My gran always had some growing in our front garden in Blackpool when I was little, I’d give a lot of money to be able to get my hands on some here in Cape Town !!!

Yes, I don’t expect they would grow so well where you are they do like cool and damp.
