I can hardly wait to see all my Clematis blooming!
Here is 'Vyvyan Pennell'
Waiting For Spring So Show Your Clematis!!
oooo, yes please do!
I need to decide what I want to get to put at my front entrance.
I have a big trellis there and did have a climbing rose but it didn't do too hot because it didn't get enough sun.
Grannyh your clematis' are lovely! ♥
granny, if that is a polish spirit vitacella is sure is a nice one. thanks for the beautiful reminders of the approaching season.
Hi Niobe~ You think that might be what it is then? There are so many purple Clematis and it gets a little brain-racking after awhile trying to hunt a noid down.
Here's a close-up of 'Niobe' I got started in a different area two years ago. It was the second year
of growing for this one, also,...... in this spot anyway.
ya'lls are awesome! I wish I could find a pic of mine that wasn't dormant. I got a new computer & haven't loaded my pics yet. Who knows where it is.
Sad thing is, I don't even know what kind I have. I think it's a HF Young, not sure. The blooms are huge though.
Your Clematis is just gorgeous, Niobe!!
If you find your pictures, 2racingboys,....please post it!!
I understand where you're coming from...I have a Clematis 'Will Goodwin', Clematis 'Victoria', and a Clematis 'Mrs. Norm Thompson,...but I'll be darned if I can find those photos anywhere. DH says he thought I took some photos over to my sister's house...I probably left them there!!!!

The only white one I have is John Huxtable...I hope he does very well this spring and summer.....remember he was a new one I planted last year on my new pergola!
Ooooooh!!....a pergola!!! My DH is supposed to build me one this year!! When he wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas (2008).....I said "a pergola!!!"
He agreed to it....so we shall see!!!
oooo, nice! I can't wait for dh get get my gazebo put up!
Shirley1~Your 'Duchess of Edinburgh' is stunning!!
Thanks Niobe. I can't wait for mine to look just like yours!!!! Honestly! Mine is in full sun too.....I have a feeling she will be one of my fav's too once I see more of how she will behave....I do love the colouring though....
Thanks granny! You have some wonderful Clematis!
Dawn: the Clems are going to be beautiful climbing your pergola! Can't wait until they put on a show for you!
niobe: your Clematis pictures are always spectacular! I especially like Ville de Lyon growing with Prince Charles. A delightful combination!
I have always wanted that one in the above photo Niobe...no kidding. I have always wanted it but NEVER seen it any greenhouses here....that is one I wanted to plant on my pergola originally but could never find it here. I don't order online so that isn't an option for me. If it isn't around here I just don't get it.....do you have more photo's of that one? If so please post!!!
Ha one more thing Niobe...if you ever plan on dividing that one keep me in mind....I would love a piece of that! Gosh that sounded funny didn't it? LOL LOL.
maybe i should make some cuttings from it this year. i never do that, but maybe i will. i could use a few more of them..they are so vigorous they make a good fill in.
i got mine originally about 7years ago from chalk hill.
So does any Clematis lover here do anything special to help their Clems with growing and blooming?
I throw down some ColorBurst (Lowe's) every Spring around the base of each plant, ........and once a month Spring to Fall, I put down some used coffee grounds.
Other than that, that's all I do for mine.
Anybody else have any interesting suggestions for helping them along?
