Hi. Well, my clematis are all still alive (surprising). I have two Betty Risdon - the one with a little more sun just put out it's first flower and it was amazing! i may have to move the other. The Erik Ruuth also had some pretty little white flowers. The bijou isn't growing but isn't dead either. I'm having a lot of trouble with my irrigation system so have started hand watering and I think that will help a lot.

i also have an Avant Garde that i paid too much for but really, really wanted. It wilted when i put it in the ground and i was sure it was dead but it has come back with a vengeance! No flowers but it's growing like crazy :) Yippee
