Last week (while working in Demo Gardens) the Clematis was in bloom and I took some photos:
I have a few I also wanted to share:
This Cone Flower has something in common with me…my middle name. Echinacea Rainbow Marcella… Love the colors!
This is a peach knock out rose
A closer look at the bloom.
My clematis is also in bloom. I wished I knew it’s name. I would love to get another. It blooms from now thru August.
The clematis also looks so nice with the lighter color iris
At the base of the clematis is this daylilly that shares it’s color
Seems I have a lot of purples in bloom. This is the brats on Acanthus mollis ( Bear’s Breeches)
Hosta curly fries along with a miniature rose
Heuchera (coral Bells) This one is Lime Rickey

love the photos……..paul’s butterfly weed is magnificent— Linda, love the curly hosta; have you recalled the name of your clematis on north side of your house??? I guess I have never seen the clematis in bloom @ the extension–appears bi-colored; is that the case or just a trick on the eye???
Yes, it’s Clematis Mrs Robert Brydon..I will post a couple of photos of it. I also will start you one…It grows profusely…you need a tall trellis.
I think there are two varieties combined together
I remember the year (s) Olga raised from seed , cup and saucer plant for the entry garden . She gave me one too- they were so beautiful and unusual. Miss that incredible lady!
