Hi everyone, I counted and while taking early photos and currently have 27 L overly Clematises up and at em. I thank you all for humoring me on my series of"I know you don't live where I do but, how do you think my clems. are doing??" So bless you for recognizing my love for clematis's. I want to mention my plants that I feel are developing very well for their age and mild winter/spring we have had. 2 ond year strong plants: Evipo: Josephine,must have 20 shoots, and a dozen small flower buds(she must be crazy!) Henryii, my favorite of all. Mrs. Bateman an is also throwing many shoots and also a dozen or more flower buds. Mrs Bateman looks like she may have a smaller more delicate growth size than many, I have never seen her as a mature plant. I also want to share an off topic moment and share a few of my pictures of this years Hellebore s. I hope you are all enjoying your gardens. Lee Sherwood McDonald
