While my old friend Jackamani is just about finished blooming for the season... the new clematis i bought at the Farmer's Market and planted last year are blooming for the first time!
This is Purpurea Plena Elegans

Both vines are so different

I'm glad they are happy enough to bloom in my garden!

What beautiful clematis! Blooming flowers in the garden are such a happy sight.
Our garden is inbetween blooms. A few roses left and the hydrangia is lovely. Soon, it's echinacea, black eyed susans, shasta daisies and crocosmia. Tasted the first few blueberries last night.
Oh those are gorgeous, Mare! The clematis is sooo pretty- and Little Nell is so delicate and sweet!
You have a wonderful garden!
Hi Lola Nova! My gardens were like that a week ago...nothing much going on...and then all of a sudden, everything is coming up and getting ready to bloom! My little blueberry bush i am training for bonsai has blueberries on it, but they are not ready yet...I can't wait to taste them!
Thank you Paula! What a wonderful compliment.
oh my gosh mare!
your garden is breath taking!
i love seeing all the art you create inside and outside!
It's my joke for the summer that i have "clematis envy" :D
Your climbers are looking fabulous!!
I just replaced The President with a blue bloomer, nothing happening yet. But i see yours took a year to bloom, so there is hope, lol!
We also get the gold finches here in chicago, they are lovely!
have a fun 4th!!
xoxo
Hi PengPeng! Happy 4th to you too! Hang in there with the clematis. It does take time to establish itself, but next year you should have blooms!
