Lavender

No flowers on Clematis.
) is Bees Jubilee which has almost finished flowering and Ernest Markham is in there somewhere as well as the early Helsingborg which finished a few weeks ago.  There is supposed to be a Miss Bateman, too, but I think that popped its clogs over the winter by Watermelonice
