That looks it… and with a name like that how can I not get one for the small gap in the front garden.
It’s a dwarf variegated willow. Not flowers, just coloured leaves. https://www.ornamental-trees.co.uk/salix-integra-hakuro-nishiki-tree-p340

Thank you.
Isn’t that the same thing … ish?
I’m desperate to get something right for once.
Yep, same thing

Phew! I shan’t hang up my trowel just yet then.
Here’s some more roses.
The deep pink one is Mme Isaac Pereire (I have two of these; one as a climber in the back garden, but this is the front garden one) and the tall pale pink is a Kazanlik rose tree.
I wrote about Kazanlik here …

Veilchenblau rose and clematis. Not the easiest things to get a good photo of. They look nicer in real life.

Does anyone know what this plant is called? The flowers are only open when the sun is on them. It’s not looking very well this year. Very sparse. Should I feed it? Repot it?
@Foresthillnick it looks similar to a photo you posted. Some sort of succulent?

I’ve got some tree lillies that now have the flower buds (if that is the correct term…)- They are great, come back every year, and you can split the bulbs after a few years and double your plants!

Could be a Delosperma jewel of the desert. The flowers open in the sun and then close. They like lots of sun and arid conditions

That tree lilly you gave me was amazing last year and has come back really big this year - just waiting for it to flower.

It definitely won’t like it’s feet being wet, so I’d remove the saucer on the pot. And it’ll probably want to be in houseplant or succulent compost with some fine grit mixed in. I don’t think I’ve ever fed mine. It just sits in the sun in a ceramic pot and is fairly neglected!

That is what I have but a very small compact one…

Great - I’m going to split my white flowering ones later this year or whenever the foliage has died down and take them out of pots - if I have a few spare you are welcome to them. I find them pretty trouble free bar red beetles I had one year and their larvae but got rid of them the last few years and none this year. And they do get bigger each year as an added bonus!
