Beautiful, old fashioned bloomers in a country garden. Ruby port columbine is rich looking, and the Mayleen pink clematis against the red foliage is so delicate. Nice!
Thanks! I am not usually a fan of the double columbines, but Ruby Port has such a lovely colour. What I didn’t realize, is that it is Tall!
We tend to lean towards old fashioned types here, they must work with the historic house.
