Thanks Janet, I'll take a look.

Chelle, around the first of February, an acquaintance dropped off these two huge pots each filled with a trellis and a plant cut back to within about 8 inches of the soil.

'This is some kinda vine,' she said. 'It's been outside for years and it'll have a few purple blooms.'

That's all I knew about it until it started growing, leafing out and now blooming. I've never had a clem before, so I don't know a thing about them except the name. It's huge already, full of blooms that are all identical and about the size of my opened hand. Nothing dainty about it.

The second one I can say the same about, except I did find that it's Kingfisher, so now it has a name and is in the database. So that's about all I know. They are both gorgeous. I thought they were two of the same until I saw the centers were of a different color.

I'll look through your link, Janet.
Thanks.
