This clematis is a tough old dog, he was trying to grow in the backyard of our old house when we move in in '87. I moved him here with us in '01, this is the first time he has bloomed since the move.

This sweet lady I have been nursing for two years. This is the first time she has bloomed.



I've got two more clematis growing, one from seed (we will see how it does), the other was put in the ground at the same time as the lady above but no blooms yet.

More plants to come. Lilies should start blooming soon.
