Chantell, regarding http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=3983688 , wasn't the Caryopteris made for blue MGs? I'm slowly learning this year which MGs will generously cover their cross bars over the path. The youjiros so far seem to do it best, since to me their generosity of flowering is more like that of the tricolors when given more sun, which the youjiros are not getting here.

In a garden lower down the hill is another arbor with Emma's grays & plums, some of whose pics I've already posted. Well, Heian no Umi (from Shirley1md) got in there too, & I love the effect of its giant red-purple in clouds of the autumn clematis - infuses the whole garden with that wonderful scent - so for appreciative noses like Chantell's & others that pic follows below.

Syrunami, that solid SOH really stands out, doesn't it? If you save enough seeds, perhaps we could trade later? The hummingbird loved it last year (from Ron), but an illness in my family delayed seed sowing, so no pods were formed before frost (moral - sow something really special in a pot) - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=3984382

Becky, regarding http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=3994695 that resembles Emma's Lavender-gray Chiffon, very poetic with rain drops...wonderful parade of blooms further down in the thread - ours are close to finishing here, so enjoyed those very much

Emma, yup, Jamie Lynn in the Sky will do for my MG in morning sky fix until dawn - thank you - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=3995268 . Those shiboris are infinitely fascinating.

Emma, Atenkley & Beth, very interesting about the I. cordatotriloba - am always curious about connections to the wild & other idiosyncracies of MGs

Gourd - what a mixture of the beautiful and the intriguing. Might #9 be the fragrant I. albivenia? We really need to get Dave to add a scratch & sniff feature here. Whether it is or not, Chantell is also a major afficionado of fragrance and think both she & I are drooling over that one. Dracul offsets #9 nicely.

Emma, early frosts - OH NO

I'm with Gerris - the glory is past, just enough to help me to continue color-coding some vines as I try to untangle them - already plotting which ones to grow indoors, too, although for now it's a matter of moving stragglers indoors.
