Complimentary Colour Schemes
I'm not a big fan of agapanthus, but they are in the garden, doing well and provide colour. At the moment they are making this orange flowered vine really zing - love it!
Lucky you. Although the Aggies grow wild further down the coast in Cornwall, I have struggled to get them to flower. The 'orange thing' is a Bignonia Campsis - the same as I have up the pergola on the patio - but you wouldn't recognise it now as it is leafless! H xx
Thanks for the identification Hilary, every year I think this vine has croaked, but so far its come back each time... less than the year before, but still hanging in there!
