Oh so THAT is amelanchia - I have one of those I think... Fabulous photos Withy but making me feel I MUST get out in the garden sometime soon or we'll be living in a jungle.
I can see that I'll have to take notes from your blog before heading to the nursery (because I'll be able to grow these things once the deer fence is done!) Over here broom is a menace and there are 'broom bashes' held regularly, when people head out to pull it out before it flowers. It thrives here to the extent that it chokes out everything else.........but it is so bright and pretty.
Having lived most of my life in North Yorkshire (bar 4 years in Singapore),I have been in Northumberland since 1981 I trained in Horticulture about 50 years ago and have made 4 gardens attached to various homes.

Anything that has dared to rear its head in our garden is getting blown away today!
My Amelanchior has finished flowering now, but was absolutely covered in flower.....a good year!
Is your Clematis Armandii the perfumed variety?

Your garden looks beautiful, Withy (your lovely stone house too!)
Such beautiful pictures Withy. Is it a scented clematis? It looks divine and I bet it smells gorgeous too.
