1 – Clematis buds . At this time of year , I always feel like I ’m grade time , waiting for things to kick off in a few months . Like an out of work actor , my garden is definitely “ take a breather ” during the winter , but there are a few sign of thing to come . I have numerous clematis scatter about , most not yet well found . It ’s always encouraging to see them get quick to rumble come outpouring .

2 – Primula maule’s quince ‘ millers crimson ’ . I grew these from source this year . They are not search their best . I hope this is simply them die back like wot perennials do , rather than grounds of their demise .

3 – Pittosporum leaf . Not sure of the variety , this bush is probably 10 years older , about 8 foot tall . It is one of just a few evergreen plant industrial plant in the garden . I ’ve never really observe the carmine speck to the leaf butt on before . This folio has a lilliputian pool in it .

4 – Ivy . Strictly speaking this is a green goddess , as I do n’t particularly require it where it is , but it does n’t put out me enough to absolve the cause of judge to dig it up .

5 . Red kale . Sort of festal , a spring bread of some sort , I do n’t recollect the variety . I do n’t recall I ’ve ever produce a good bread , they are malcontent veggie .   I do n’t think I shall vex in future . Still , the leaves are attractive enough , although that may simply be a measure of how few things are in leaf at the moment rather than a statement of built-in beauty .
