Thanks JenG! That's just my front bed, and only the beginning. :) It was full of color early this year, so it made me happy. I'm planting the Clematis in the back tho. This is the backyard, which is just starting. It peaks later. :)) The Clematis will go on the fence closer to where I'm standing to take the picture.

Pirl, you are one patient gardener! I could not wait 2 years to see the color of the bloom! I went out to just go ahead and plant them and saw a bud, so I am waiting. They have tags on them, but I know better than to think that's what I'm getting. lol

One of them is supposed to be a red bloom, "Niobe". The other has a picture of a purple bloom with a red streak in the center of each petal, with the name "Dr. Ruppel" on it. While looking at a big Clematis website I saw that the picture and the name Dr.R didn't match. ?? So I thought I would wait and see what it really was.
