Madame Julia Correvon is growing into a nearby shrub like I had hoped.


V V V (always forget what it stands for!)


Nelly Moser and Ramona These blooms seem to get bigger each season


Margaret Hunt is very reliable


Romantika and Star of India first time blooming together....had to make them pose for the camera!


Inspiration still producing blooms. It is growing near a sprinkler head that I have to dig up. Hope it will survive.


October is a great month in Texas!

Beautiful, Anna. I always love your photos. When you post them early and late in the season, however, I'm always puzzled until I remember that you live in Texas. Your name always makes me assume I'm going to look at photos of a garden in Canada.

Anna, the V V V stands for Clematis viticella venosa violacea.

Nice Anna! You're lucky to still have plants in bloom!

Gorgeous, Anna! Nice collection.

Thank you for your encouraging comments. After a long hot summer , Texas get a reward! I remembered to fertilize about a month ago so I think that helped. As well we had a couple of good rains.
You probably figured out that I was born and lived in Canada up until 20 years ago. Still is "home" in my brain, especially since my family and friends live there.
violacea,violacea,violacea...Hopefully I can remember that next time! Thanks!

Lovely. Think my Rooguchi is budding and I should have some Florida sieboldii blooms next month, but nothing compared to the bounty of these beauties. Thank you for posting.

Can't wait to see them. I had a friend over looking at the garden. She wasn't as impressed with the clematis as she was with the passion vine....which I have to agree looks beautiful growing over an arch.

Gotta get me one a those. Always thought they were too delicate or fragile for this area until I saw them growing 'wild' at my company's previous location. So exotic looking to be so tough.

I grew one this year, as an annual. They are sold cheaply at a garden store around here, so I'm not even going to try to save it over winter. It was lovely. I had it with white clems.

In Texas, passion vine height x width are infinity! I bet that combo looked nice.
Debra, if I find a start I will save it for you.

thank you.

I love this clematis. Fries crispy every summer, bounces back and sets blooms again every November/December. First time I have let it wind up around the Rose of Sharon tree.
