Majestic Beauty

It certainly is beautiful. I love it! And until you did this discussion, I had never heard of a Clematis.

As we probably all know by now I don't have a green thumb and don't have the pretty flowers like you do. I think it would be real pretty growing up a pole where your mail box is.

I have an arbor at the front of my yard, spanning the walkway. One side has a purple clematis called Polish Spirit and the other side has a pink climbing rose, a cutting from one my uncle took from the climbing rose my mother had growing on the garden shed when I was a child. (My uncle took cuttings with him wherever he moved.) So, mom and dad stand guard, so to speak. (My mother's name was Rose, btw.)

i love clematis. When we moved house about 15 years ago, i left behind some beautiful plants, including clematis. we moved in February so I waited to see what would come up in our new garden. i was delighted when a honeysuckle, a passion flower ( something I had tried to grow before , but had failed miserably , so i was well pleased) and also 2 beautiful clemmies emerged as climbers. 1 large purple flower probably the President and one slightly smaller. they are not quite in flower yet, its usually a little later in the summer, but they are glorious when they emerge. I must take pictures when they bloom and put them on mylot.

I love purple. And it is a gorgeous shot. We don't have Clematis. But we do have some very pretty day lillies right outside our front door.

Hi GRANPA BOB, That is so beautiful, I have a clamatis like that but mine is a little lighter shade, I have it against a fence but it seem to have climbed on to my apple blossom tree, but I have 8 flowers on them. Tamara
