Remember Roxanne and Jim's beautiful pink Clematis?  It bloomed last April.  You can check out the article in the archives, or scroll down to April 28th.

 

Another Clematis is blooming all over the place, right now.  It is Clematis virginiana, commonly called Virgin's bower.  It is a common vine, and very noticeable, once you start noticing it.  It has masses of creamy white flowers, and climbs over shrubs and fences.  You can see it all along the roadways; there's some by the little bridge on Moccasin Church Road.  

 

The picture above was taken in Blairsville, behind the Napa store.  I've been seeing this Clematis for years, adorning a chain link fence.  I love when it blooms!!

 

Watch for it on your next trip out.  You can even spot it at 45 miles an hour.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
