Hey Julia -

I did not cut mine back this year and I am regretting it. Seems mine flowered early this year and I am finding a stray Prince Charles Blossom or a stray Madame Julia Corrovan. Next year, I will cut them back so I get a much longer season.

Our summer, this past year consisted of rain almost every day. The plants loved it, but it was difficult to get out there and maintain. We had most grey skies and it was quite a cool summer.

I was thinking that perhaps there are those that still are having flushes of flowers - particularly in the warmer climates. I'd love to see some of those clems to help get us through to the next clem season.....

Here is Alabast and HF Young. This picture was taken the end of this past May..... I really like the white with the blue/lavendar.....
