Usually when I report on Clematis blooming, I show you Roxanne's fairyland garden.  Well, this time I'm showing you our Clematis.  
 

I didn't save the nursery tag, so I don't know its species name, but the genus name is Clematis.  This species is a deciduous vine.  It requires support, so that it doesn't take over the front yard.  Although, that  would be kinda pretty.  We planted it about 15 years ago, and got lucky.  It blooms every year like this!!!

 

I heard a long time ago that Clematis likes its head in the sun and its feet in the shade.  Sounds difficult to do, but we planted it under the deck, and trained it up the post.  It faces south, so it is happy.  
 

I am too!!!

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
