JASMINUM OFFICINALE 'CLOTTED CREAM' ON A SUNNY FENCE

It makes me smile when I think that a couple of years ago, 2013, I planned to grow the yellow, summering-flowering Jasmine 'Clotted Cream' (also known as 'Devon Cream' in a small Long Tom terracotta container on my front doorstep. That's a laugh.  I soon learned that this climber gets far too big to be crowding its roots into anything but a big container; not if you want a fine specimen anyway.  Last year I moved it to my south-facing fence where it has thrived amid clematis, a climbing rose (Generous Gardener) and a white Jasmine, Jasminum officinale.  They seem happy together, offering each other support.

 The buds and foliage are pretty too.
