It is so true that each season gets more beautiful than the last especially with regards to Clematis..I've been frantically planting clematis each and every year for the past 7 years .."Bee's Jubilee never gets boring with her delicate colouring!
A Few from Today
Clematis "Crystal Fountain" has tons of buds this year and had to share her starting to open up..will post more when she is in full glory!
Just so you can see the setting for these...I have dug into the ground..cut the bottom off of pots and sunk into the ground..Planting a climbing rose on each of the 4 trellis on my Homemade Rose Gazebo..this one houses..Climbing rosa "Compassion" and Clematis "H.F. Young" & "Omoshiro"
"H.F. Young" is so purty!!
And "Daniel Deronda"
Yes..my "Alfalfa Tea" has been brewing and will soon be ready to use..Petunias are nice this year
I know this is the Clematis Forum..but thought I'd Share a few more pics of my gardens with my gardenbuddies!!..I have tons of Roses,Crinums,Iris,too numerous to list..I guess you can say..I just LOVE gardening and flowers...hope you enjoy..Jeanne
and...
I am mad about "Granada"..I spied that some of "Venosa Violacea" vines have grabbed onto her!!..Those naughty Clems
I have two clematis planted with climbing Rosa "Devonisis"..can't wait till they get all grown up and join the party..isn't she a beaut!
"Dr. Ruppel"
Like so many of my clematis Friends..I love all stages of clematis..this one of "Dr. Ruppel" is exciting..is it not?
One of the Newbies I planted this year in my "Miguel Memorial Garden"
Mr. Demille...I'm ready for my closeup!!..Yum yum...Hope you enjoyed..Jeanne
They are all so gorgeous, Jeanne. Your neighbors must really enjoy the results of all your hard work.
Thanks Pirl...this is something I've looked forward to for 3 long years.."Crystal Fountain" has finally grown tall enough to mingle with Cl. Rosa "Teasing Georgia"! Don't you like the way TG brings out the yellow in the center of CF? See that little bit of pink to the far right?...That is Cl. Rosa "Compassion" planted on the other side of the post...can you imagine the 3 of them together..plus, I have clematis "Snow Queen" planted with "Compassion"
Clematis "Crystal Fountain" is a bit of a freak when first opening ..but she is still purty in my eyes..
Clematis "Josephine" is HUGE this year..will share pics when she is fully opened
Clematis "Empress"
Sorry forgot the pic
Clematis "Snow Queen"
Clematis "Gillian Blades"
Clematis "Asao"
Every day I add "Must Haves" to my list, thanks to you Jeanne! Now I have to have Josephine!
Jeanne, it looks like you're having a beautiful spring in Texas! All your pics are gorgeous. Good to see petunias, too. Reminds me that summer is just around the corner.
Thanks you two..just remember that is takes a good three years to have such a show..so plant like a madhatter today so those three years comes quicker..that is my mantra...Jeanne
ps...I know my neighbors must think me mad planting away constantly..lol
Reminds me of my now late neighbor who came out one day after we had been here about 16 years and said, "Aren't you done yet?".
I have one Clematis. Don't know it's name.
Trouble..Hi Neighbor..looks like Clematis "Dr. Ruppel" to me...Jeanne
