Beautiful pictures of beautiful flowers. I'm sure they will be a hit at your party! Guernsey Cream is now on my gotta have list.
Kids Love Clematis!
All I can say is WOW!
Thank you goldfinch.
I've been so excited to post these.
My kids call this one Dr. Pepper
Thanks. I'm so happy with these.
This is the creep year for me as I put in about 60 last year.
But I'm not complaining because they seem to be leaping!
Wow, 60 of them? Wish I had room for that many! But I can look forward to seeing more of yours now that I know you have that many... They certainly do look good for their 2nd year.
HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!..I am tickled they are blooming at the purrrrfect moment for your party..will be such a thrill for your guest..enjoy and thanks for sharing...Jeanne
Beautiful. I'm impressed that they are all blooming at the same time. Don't you love the fragrance of the Ruebens? All I can say is 'wow'!
it's probably my favorite thing to do: training vines.
It's as enjoyable to me as my profession which is printmaking.
Thank you & I enjoy your threads alot Jeanne.
they have given me good ideas & inspiration.
Thanks for checkin' in doss! I LOVE all your irises you share so generously on the iris forum! They've made me very happy to look at as I patiently wait for mine. I put in about ... (?) in the mid hundreds in a round bed where our pool used to be. I have a few maidens to post over there too. Ah heck, here's one anyway: Radiant Burst.
How beautiful Soulja - It's a lovely plicata. I know that you will enjoy the spring with all of those iris in addition to the clematis. The roses and the raphiolepsis are blooming right now too so my garden is full of fragrance.
These came out on Derby Day:
It was a festive and colorful party.

So many lovely Clematis are blooming in your garden! It's perfect timing for your Derby Party!
Beautiful.
Thank you Clematis enthusiasts. Around here we know once we survive another festive Derby season, it is at last, the end of a long long winter and it is now officially safe-to-plant-out . It's Louisville's favorite time of year.
Here is Edouard Desfosse
OOOOoo....what a beauty!!...Jeanne
OMG, Shawna! You are just full of all kind of surprises! Your Clematis are just amazing! REALLY!!! You are certainly the "Vine Queen"!! And your garden set-up is just perfect for the vines!
I must confess ... I purchased 3 Clematis liners in a co-op a month ago. I just got them this week. Great root system on those tiny babies. I just hope they make it here in my HOT zone! I got Ernest Markham, Jackmanii, and Venosa Violacea. And I have several starts of Sweet Autumn Clematis from trades. I can't imagine having 60 Clematis! LOL! Those and MG vines ... Oh My! Your garden area is going to look like a magical fairy land! :-)
Cute kids, too! :-)
Thank You Thank you Beckygardener! Be careful vine woman,
Clematis are as addictive as Morning Glories!
Here are a few more waking up this week.
