Maureen is right with the identification of the clem's. I checked yesterday and Patricia Ann Fretwell does have buds so I hope to see some blooms this year and many more next year.

You weakened, Carolyn! Good for you. I know you love the integrifolia family and hope your plan works out well. Nice color scheme there.

Maureen - good luck with the whiskey barrels. Is there any reason you can't plant the clem's directly in the soil? You can save the metal barrel rings and make a few areas of mixed elements so you have a safe place to stand without stepping on any plants in your garden. Mine became valuable to me as the plants grew fast.
