Wednesday

 Our Clematis bloomed and now we knows that it is PINK.




 The Butterfly Weed is doing pawsome.

Someone said it was nice to see the flowers blooming before the cold weather came.  It will be awhile before we have really cold weather or even cool weather for that matter. We don't really have seasons like some places do.  Some years we don't even have a real winter in those years that it doesn't get below freezing our plants bloom all year.  Other years it gets down to freezing and below and some of our plants die, sometimes they come back and sometimes they don't. And of course we have evergreens so there is always something green in our garden even when it does get below freezing. ~AFSS

We used to have a clematis like yours but one winter it died in the snow. You have a lovely garden.

Your clematis is gorgeous. Ours blooms in late spring or so, it seems pretty short-lived in our area.

We are hoping our clematis will survive winter. There are different varieties, some will come back, some are evergreens (we couldn't find that one we thinks it is rare) and others don't come back. We are not sure what we have, we didn't even know what color it would be till it bloomed. Mommy found it on the clearance shelf at Lowe's and it no longer had a tag or anything to identify it.

The clematis is picture perfect! It's blossoming must have coincided with the last burst of summer. :)
