can’t get over you
we have had exactly two clematises over 25 years of marriage. there have been other plants and flowers and trees that have spent part of every single year with me, and yet i think of clematis as one of my favorite flowers. i don’t know if it’s just that beautiful, or if i met it young enough that i will always think of it as mine, somehow.

They are gorgeous. I’m nurturing a fall blooming clematis on my garage trellis and trying to coax it into bloom this year. Last year I planted a “Princess Diana” and its bell-shaped pink and white flowers are charming. Then they turn into a little Dr. Seuss looking little swirl. Lovely throughout all their phases.
