Wonderful collection of blooms Annette!

Thanks Sue, the plants are really taking off here. I'm thrilled that some of my newer plants are blooming this spring.

The clematis have arrived! One plant, Bees Jubilee was blooming. I have already planted them. We planted them on three screens on our back fence. Can't wait to see the show next year.

Those look great Sherrill! I'm glad they arrived safely.

Wonderful! It's such a good feeling to open the box and see a bloom.

They were in great shape and I did not damage them as they were planted (I am known to lose a few plants during planting). So I can now just dream about the blooms next year and start on my next project. An 8 x6 trellis we are building for a climbing rose and a bird bath I am building. I know this is not the rose forum, but any suggestions for a nice climbing rose with multi color?

It was the last package I unwrapped and I jumped up with joy when I saw that bloom!

I'd pose the question in the rose forum.

Thanks Pirl.

What a beautiful collection Annette
Sherrill, I share your enthusiasm!

Thanks Anna.

Here's a multi plant pic of the clematis, a columbine that self sowed in the bed, and peonies that are starting to bloom.

From left to right clematis Yukiokioshi, Ramona, Veronica's Choice, Miguel Viso on the fence, Columbine Dorothy Rose, peony Sea Shell, Itoh peony Keiko and clematis Arabella in front.

What a beautiful bed!

I'd sleep outside!

Thanks Anna and Arlene. I'm glad my plants did well through our severe storms last night. Tomorrow, it's garden clean up time for the mess that was made last night.

Have fun cleaning. It really is worth it. In the end everything usually looks brighter after a storm. We're due to get that horrendous rain tomorrow and Thursday.
