Okay, here's my first photo of my clematis. It's not the one I complained about though. I had contacted customer service because the base of the stems was really broken but not detached. They sent a new one in MUCH better condition. I was surprised when I planted it today though because the roots were shaped like they had be seriously overcrowded in a 2" pot (it came in a 4" pot), all curved around and in the shape of the small pot. When I removed it from the 4" pot it came in, most of the soil fell away and that's when I saw the roots. Is this to be expected? I tickled them to tease them out, and then spread them in a nice hole and covered them with fresh soil. I still have the first one they sent, and I'll put that in a gallon pot to see if it comes back in the spring.
In the picture, my baby C is in the lower, left corner.
Here's a better picture of baby C!
