The Garden is Blooming

The weather is being quite nice and the Clematis that got some disease and I cut back to the ground, has decided to grow again (I had to move its replacement) and this photo shows all the lovely new growth, including flowers, wow.
White Clematis is back from the dead.
One of my favourite roses Celine Forrestier, it covers a fence and has a lovely fragrance with pink buds into pale yellow flowers.
Very close to where I live is The Iris Garden (in Motukarara for any Kiwis) and I bought this lovely yellow and white from them.
And also a pale apricot and not out yet is an almost black, stunning.
This is the long garden border G4 (garden 4).
The bark on the mystery tree, that no one has ever been able to identify for me, so I just call it the Saggy, Baggy Elephant Tree
The flowers
The vegetable gardens, the broad beans are going crazy and the potatoes are just popping through.
My first ever courgette!

    Your garden is looking just lovely. I love that long border.

      @Douglas Hunt Thank you Douglas, it is a bit messy as I have been doing some major clearing on the lower part of the garden (chainsaws etc) and it is very hard work, next comes some planting, the best bit.

    It is so cool to see a real gardener's garden from another country! Thank you for sharing. Is it possible to get a couple more pictures of your mystery tree, leaves maybe and a long shot. I would like to share it with a couple of groups that might have a clue what it is.
