Happy September everyone!

Just wanted to double check, but I am pretty much convinced that I ended up with Clematis "H.F. Young". He seems to be perfectly happy in this spot ... and I am more than happy with him. I'm just sorry that all the buds probably won't have the chance to bloom before the frost sets in. Next spring, after he is pruned, I'll put him on a nicer looking trellis or perhaps even an obelisk. I've picked up a few fancy trellis' at garden clearances.
I am the proud owner of 5 clems now. I have two "Jackmanii" which were very small when I got them, but appear to be thriving, a "Henryii" which is also thriving and has given me one flower to enjoy, and a "Rouge Cardinal" that I picked up on a clearance table at Lowes. The challenge now will be to get them all through the winter. The "Rouge Cardinal" is in a large pot, but I have a covered patio to winter him in ... I just have to remember to water!
Thank you all for your great advice. I read you religiously and learn something new everyday. I can't wait to see my clems as healthy and vigorous as yours.
