Okay, for those of you on Facebook: there are tons of Gardens that post pictures. All you have to do it "become a fan" and enjoy the eye candy.
Bedrock Gardens has a photo of Continus 'Golden Spirit' with Clematis 'Betty Corning' coming up through it. It looks like the Cotinus is blooming with these incredible light colored open little flowers. I encourage you all to go look.
I'll post a link here in case it works.
