Never happy, she didn't complain. So I said this spring..."Nelly, I'm going to do the honorable thing and move you to the back trellis wall and so, will you please please live". Its good to talk to your plants I am sure you will agree. Well, lots of new growth is showing and so, sincerely hope she loves us back. "Go Nelly!! You are an old girl but a new move is as good as a new life."

I have a Clematis 'Blue Dancer', which is similar to 'Francis Rives'. This year, it bloomed its heart out - I don't think I have ever seen it look so amazing. Happy Bloom Day, and here is to a good Clematis year!Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.com
