Hi Arlene and thank you for your post.
I too get excited about clematis.
I have no one to share that excitement with
as so few people have flower gardens anymore.
I am self taught and just have a love for flowers
and animals.

I bought my black wrought iron trellis from Home Depot
last year..

and ordered clematis from a great company called
Joy Creek Nursery out of Portland Oregon.
Their employees were patient and kind to me
on the phone and responded to email..

My plants came with fabulous roots, and were the correct ones
they were packaged extremely well and arrived at my house
across the country in good shape.

Among those bought from them are Madame Baron Viellard,
Julia Correvon, Marcelina, Contessa de bouchard, and
some were bought at Lowes ..Dr Ruppel.
these are my photos.

In my soil flowers tend to be more bluish..or lavendar.
I love Julia Correvon!

I hope to meet others on the forum and have some one to enjoy clematis and other perennials with ..
