Evening everyone, I've just joined this ng, so a springtime (read:
sunrainsunhailsunrainsun) hello to all. The sky out my window is a
glorious bruise-purple which offsets the silver birch with its rain-slicked
leaves such a bright green. Ahh spring...

I'm looking for a shade-loving climber or at least a shade-lover with some
height to hide a rather ugly wall (north-east facing). The other criteria is
it needs to be able to survive in a pot or other container.

The area does get a little sun for part of the day, but not much. Any
suggestions?

My other question is regarding Acers. My favourite kind is green but turns a
bright red in autumn and has the segmented sort of Liquid Amber style leaf -
not the very lacy almost shredded look that is very popular at the moment.
Does anyone know the name of this sort of Acer?

Thanks muchly and have a lovely evening.

Regards

Elizabeth
