I also spotted this clematis:
My fuchsia (Sir Matt Busby) are also flowering at the moment.

Luscious flowers, Eileen.  The color of that Pelargonium is soo rich,
and the Fuchsia looks as though it were crafted of silk.
I have a Clematis that is currently giving me a small, second wave of blooms,
what a pleasant surprise to get a little reminder of spring's glory
now that summer is here.

Those are all great pictures Eileen. Do you know the name of that Clematis?

Very lovely blooms Eileen, I love the irises, thanks for sharing.
Oh, and I love my toads, I had one peeking up at me from inside a cell pack the other day. I have cuttings rooting in them and one was empty, he must have thought it a good hiding place.

what a lovely surprise! My iris won't bloom till next year, hope I have some whites in there. And how nice of Mr. Toad to come help your garden along! We only have the tiny green tree frogs 'round here. So funny when they stick to a window, the view out is alarming at best, lol!

I never knew Sir Matt Busby had a fuchsia named after him. That's even better than the 'Sir' honour  It is a beauty.

I am quite fuchsia mad, got lots and lots, I`m having a go at making standards, 1 colour at first then perhaps a couple of completely different colours together. xxx

Everything is so beautiful Eileen. We had a toad in the backyard years ago, I am afraid he scooted out of our yard into the yard next door with the two Rottweilers and they killed him.
