Clematis back to life...
« on: May 19, 2008, 20:31:58 »
Well I thought this was a gonna last year, had nothing from it at all.  Now today this is what I came home to (excuse the blue rope lol)





Can't remember the variety of it, but the flower are huge!
What I lack in ability and experience, I make up for in sheer enthusiasm!!!

Absolutely gorgeous Posie, what a lovely surprise ;D
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

we had a nelly moser, seemed to die off every year and always came back...until Maisie tromped all over it, doubt if it will come back from that  :-\
I really like clematis, all of them, we also have a ,still living, bell shaped spring one  :)

For the first time in my life I managed to get a cutting of that one Manics. Its a Clematis alpina, they are so delicate so now Im looking forward to the next couple of years and flowers hopefully!!
