Christopher Lloyd

Montana Mayleen is super, very, very strong sc- scent.

That, uh, Pippin is a new pink one with quite a large flower, which, uh, uh, Dr. Christopher, uh, Gray-Wilson bred from, from montana grandiflora.

That, that's a, that's a great plant.

So those are, those are super.

You know, when I'm out plant hunting, whether it's China or anywhere else in the world, where I see the Clematis that are really enjoying life, they, they've, they've got their roots tucked under a boulder or under some foliage of another plant climbing up through o- other plants.

So yes, so, uh, Clematis and roses, yes, that's, that's, that's a natural, uh, one.

And one lovely combination, I grew up and started my horticultural career at Burford House in South Shropshire, uh, and John Treasure, who designed the fantastic garden at Burford House, um, he was a great friend of Christopher Lloyd, and I worked with Christopher too.

Um, they had a fantastic idea of actually growing, um, the viticella Clematis over, uh, summer and winter flowering heathers, and, and that's a fantastic com- combination.

And so it's all just little articles that he's written through the year.

There's a few of these, you know, Beth Chateau has her diaries and Christopher Lloyd has his as well.

And just dipping in for that month, it just gets you so excited.

Oh, it's lovely.

And it's, you know, it's not just Fergus who is incredible.

He's obviously, um, the kind of, the by-product I suppose, of Christopher Lloyd.

Mm.

Christopher Lloyd, who I think is probably, he's probably my favorite garden writer of all time.

I mean-

Amazing.

Absolutely amazing
