Thought I would take a break from the New York images. These images are from a clematis vine I planted in a planter box we have.

My daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a really pretty clematis vine that I wish I could grow. She explained her pruning technique to me last week, but I have had no luck with this type of clematis to date. They all die after I prune. Portland

Clematis in the evening. I’m not sure how I made the leap from ‘art pigs’ to clematis…

My last clematis. All of the other clematis I planted in the last two years did not survive. This one almost didn’t make it through this Winter. It looks like it will have 6 blossoms. This is the first.

I haven’t had much luck with clematis. I think I am one for six. The plant seems so delicate. I have tried to micro-nurture the plants I have had and in return they die. Maybe clematis is stronger than I think and if I just leave it alone it will do fine? I have one last plant still alive so I will test out this theory.
