I first saw a clematis growing on my mothers mailbox in Atlanta, Georgia.

I bought my lst clematis called Dr. Ruppel from White Flower Gardens
online about 10 years ago.

Last year I just decided I had to have a LOT of clematis and 5 foot trellis for each one
and I ordered from Joy Creek Nursery in Portland Oregon
Julia Correvon, Prince Charles, Madeline, Madam Baron Viellard, Contessa de Bouchard
All of these are wonderful and grow well for me in morning and mid day sun
in zone 8.

It is a delight to look out my large window as I use my laptop to tell you this and see
Julia Correvon in bloom and all the others that have buds on them today.

I have always loved vines since a child, swung on them in the woods, enjoyed wistera at my great grandmothers in south carolina and just any vine..perhaps some of that came from watching
Tarzan movies as a little girl..LOL

Anyway I love clematis vines!!!
