@blue23rose Vickie, thank you for all the wonderful photos you submitted in this year's photo contest. They were a delight to see. This photo in particular caught my attention. The pink is so vibrant and rich! Is this in your garden? If so, you are quite the gardener as well as photographer.

None of my clematis look that full. Great job with all the photo's you've submitted, Vickie.

Thank you very much, Lori and Tim! Yes, this is in my garden. It is supposed to only get between 3 and 4 feet tall and I have two 'Acropolis' plants. The other one gets taller, but I think this one gets more blooms because it gets more sun.

Taken same day as the entry photo.

And here is the other plant that gets a bit more shade and gets taller, but not as many blooms.

That is curious about how the two plants grow so differently. Thanks for sharing the extra insight.
