Mine!

See there on the heavy branch weighed down below the height of the tank,wedged between it and the support trellis, slightly obscured from overhead view by the overflow pipe, rambling roses and other vines.


A closer look as I zoom in from where I was standing with the previous photo.


5 plump luscious nectarines! 
The birds can't see and perhaps can't reach. They will be ripe enough to pick within days!

Blue Crown passion Fruit

This vine weaves its way up and around most of our garden, it is a weed.
The Blue Crown Passion fruit It is a yellow skinned passion fruit with bland red flesh. Last Summer the birds who are the ones I suspect bought it to our garden initially, enjoyed them. The flowers are pretty but the vine is invasive in warmer weater. I'm wondering what I can do with the bland sweet red flesh this year. 


 Here it is in one of our Plum trees.

Clematis

Edit ** March 2015 I have just found out that this is Akebia quinata aka Chocolate vine, not Clematis at all. 

My horizons of what I thought Clematis was and its potential growth habit have been wildly broadened. Some of the 'unknown' plants from earlier in the year I am now quite confident are clematis. I'll go back through my archives and tag them accordingly.

This one is stunning and the flowers almost look artificial. It was a hidden gem with most of it growing over to the neighbours side of the fence and obscured from our view.

What is this?

A vine rambling up and over through the jungle of climbing plants around our tanks.
