Lee - nice colors on those clem's. I agree, the blue one is not Fireworks!


The Duchess of Edinburgh (double white) and Fireworks are planted 3' apart here but decided to join forces to put on a grand display. It's fun when two clem's can get together and do better than we can with all of our planning.

For 20 years we've had the Belle of Woking growing with Multi Blue on the fireplace wall. A few years ago I added more clem's to the area and the Belle decided to make friends with Ilka. I love them together.

A few still haven't bloomed: Ashva, Helsingborg and Patricia Ann Fretwell.

Nice job, Etelka! Love the mulch even more than the trellis. You want the roots to stay cool and mulch will do it.
