Garden news.

This is looking really impressive this year and will get better, but, what is it?

I'm not much of a gardener John, but is it some kind of wisteria (Japanese type?) - if not then I'm baffled...

All the best

Hello, Elaine. Afraid not.

The flowers remind me of Stachyurus praecox but I am stumped.
BTW - I love your blog I am a long time lurker from back in the Merrie Monk days. Keep up the good work

I know I've seen it but getting senile so can't remember what it's called. I'll let you know if it comes back to me!!!

Lamb's tails leaps to mind.

Clever guess, Mickle! x

Pat, I see the resemblance.

Hi John

The missus just peered over my shoulder (she who used to work in a garden centre) and identified it straight off as Garrya Elliptica - the Silk Tassel Bush...I knew she'd have her uses some day!

She also says it's a nice specimen!

All the best

Dave

Dave, correct! Well done to your missus!
