baja220: Gorgeous! Love Clematis "Liberation"! I hope my C. "Liberation" that I purchased also from Debbie survived our extremely hot & dry Summer. I guess I'll find out next Spring. Clematis "Crispa" is a cutie and will look lovely paired with a dark colored Clematis or Rose.
lauriwilson: I purchased "Venosa Violacea" and the "Rahvarinne" from Silver Star Vinery. They have been planted in my garden and are enjoying their new home.
Debbie,
Lovely
Your making me clematis crazy again. I only have four plants, but spent some time on Clematis on the Web and Debbie's site this evening. Now I need fourmore from her. Just have to find out if it is too late to plant here, and I have to wait until next spring. The ones I got the end of August evidently made good roots as they are green and growing. They will get nailed soon by the frosts we had last night and tonight.
Debbie will help you...I just received 4 more from her...and got them all planted...With her root system they will make it...
We've already had snow and they are still looking good...
Se_eds what ones did you get???She has some new ones with limited amounts....check them out..!!
LOL, I am bad... I went and did it.............I just went to look. I wanted to look at the new arrivals that is all.......LOL and then I ordered 2 more....once again they arrived in great shape and are in their new homes..............Lauri
Demstratt- I have Volceau, The President, Duchess of Edinburgh and Blue Light growing away from the ones I got in August.
I too checked out the new ones but ordered

for spring - early April. It was 25 degrees here today, all annuals are dead. Last fall we had temps at -17 degrees during the first 10 days in December, so I was reluctant to plant now, and Debbie also thought spring would be better.
I will mulch the new ones heavily when they die back.
If you can grow them in zone 5a, I should be able to grow them here also. LOL
So many choices and hard to choose...I have some reserved too for Spring..gotta go look at a few you ordered.. :o)
Ordering, being happy. Then seeing pictures of eachother's plants. Ordering again. Happy. Posting pictures and dislodging colleagues from being satisfied with what they've got until they, in turn, have ordered again...
This is a madhouse, folks.
I just received Venosa Violacea and Gravetye Beautiful from Debbie.Add me to the list of happy customers.
I'm not looking, too late to plant,,,,I'm not looking, too late to plant,,,,I'm not looking, too late to plant,,,,I'm not looking, too late to plant,,,,

Ann
Yal need to post pics!!! Just to help Kelly along! LOL
I'm gonna order 2 more tomorrow for the little bed I'm working on, then I'll be done with Clematis for the year.
Ann, Debbie says it's good for me to plant now and I'm in Tulsa. It gives em a little head start for spring. They'll be settled in ready to grow like made next year. If you only have the list narrowed down to 200 you may need to have a plantin party!!
Debbie
GG...listen to Lauri... lol ...she only wants to help you out...I saw your beautiful gardens....the clems will sure look good in them... :o)
Dem,
Thanks for the compliment. Methinks this is a conspiracy,,,LOL
Oh, I can see it already, I'm going to have one busy garden year in '07. Will be putting in at least 2 new beds. Need to pull one bed completely apart and redo it. Need to pull the bed around the deck apart and redo that one also. That's the place where all the Clematis will go. Want to pull the Stella's out from the mailbox bed and put something else in there. Will need to have Bill make more trellises for the new lovelies I'll be getting. I'm sure he'll be thrilled.
The last one he built was for the corner of the house, so he built it at a 90* angle. I told him it needs to go up to the soffit and fascia. He didn't listen to me, he built it about 5' - 6' tall, so now my Jackmanii goes to the top of that trellis and starts to poof out from there. Really quite funny looking. Everytime I see that one, I just shake my head. One time he made a comment that he didn't think it needed to be that tall. I just looked at him and asked if I had stupid written on my forehead. You don't question a gardener when they tell you they need something a certain size,,,,, I Had to use the "Told you so." I just couldn't help it on that one,,,LOL Still trying to get him to make it go up higher.
Kelly
LOL Kelly, you are going to be very busy with all of those new beds going in, I can't wait to see the pictures.....Oh if you want DH to raise that just grab a hammer in one hand and a saw in the other and tell him you will do it...it used to work here...........Lauri
Sorry I don't have a more centered picture (by Debbie-in-OK's request) but on the left of the Magnolia is the Clem. 'Kermesina' that came from Silver-Star-Debbie last spring. Just moved it a week or two ago. I expect it to cover that "wall" and go up a wire next year.
Works especially well if you ask, "How about getting me your power saw? They aren't that hard to use, are they?" (Have your ladder, hammer and needed materials handy.) hee, hee.
Claire
LOL,,,,he's usually really good about putting new beds in. This year we were going to put 3 new beds in and one morning, he surprised me with a load of rocks. I wasn't expecting them that soon.
When he's lolly gagging about something, I'll usually ask where some power tool is. He says, he'll do it and I always tell him, you don't have to, I'm fully capable of using (whatever tool I've asked him for),,,
I'm the one that gets nervous when I see him strolling around the yard with a saw and pruners. I just noticed today that he must have pruned some of the shrubs this morning while I was teaching Sunday School. A couple of them were just getting nice. grrrrrr I think I'll have to put any tool that can cut under lock and key.
Oops, forgot to say I really like that corner. When both are in bloom it must be gorgeous.
Kelly........be careful clems are addictive....look how nice James&Co's corner looks....gotta have that one too..!!:o)
Dem,
LOL,,, Anything I start becomes an addiction. I try to limit it to only hostas,,,but then I am a weak soul,,,lol
This is all so sad. Nobody's safe around here.
You're right about that! I was looking around my yard for a place to put my new John Paul II, and I found all kinds of spots that could use a little clematisizing. Yikes!
w
Well...........I was gonna order 2, but I just got 6 in the mail today!!!!!! Yal are right, this is dangerous!!!!
Here they are! Huldine, Beata, Blue Angel, Ashva, Negritianka, and one of Debbie's seedlings Dingy Debbie
