This is the year for clematis, at least in my garden. In this batch there are:
1) Rouge Cardinale (it's more burgundy than the pic shows -- more like the half opened flower at upper left)
2) Multi Blue -- first blooming, after two years of my thinking it was going to die on me!!!
3) trellis with Belle of Woking and what I bought as Nellie Moser, but what obviously isn't. Don't know what it is!)

Hooray for Clematis! Phyllis

How perfectly elegant and beautiful!

I have an old clematis that used to be the focal point of my back yard. It had blooms the size of saucers.

One afternoon I was reading in the den and should have gotten up to see what my pug Jimbo was rattling around with at the doggie door. I thought he was just going in and out...until I checked and discovered he was trying to pull probably 12 ft. of my prized clematis through the doggie door. He had a sizable length of the vine inside the sunroom and a pile of stripped leaves and blooms right outside.

That was probably 2-3 years ago and that clematis has never been anything close to what it originally was.

beautiful Phyllis! I planted two Belle of Woking this year. they were very tiny though. Probably won't do much for couple years. After seeing yours, I can't wait to see them bloom...J
