This may not be the most popular month for blooms, but I do have some news to report, as well as a nice surprise. The Silver Moon clematis I bought last spring arrived in June, huge roots, cut back hard, but with some buds still on them. Both have grown very well, and are now 18" to 24" high, both have several buds which are starting to open.. One is on a north- facing wall, the nursery said it will bloom in a closet. Now, I believe it. I'm thrilled!

Also, I have two 2 year old vines of Veronica's Choice on an arbor. Both years, one climbed and one bloomed. This year, the climber had one flower a few weeks after the big flush of the shorter vine. And today, I see more bloom buds at that higher level. I assume vine #1 decided to climb...

And Hagley Hybrid has a new bud, too. I'll post pics when they open :-)

Wow!
