I love clematis! Sadly I have little luck with my own. I think it's a combo of not being in the right spot (not enough sun) and the fact that my hubby cut it back severely a few years ago, and it has never been the same since. Some varieties of clematis like to be pruned back and some don't. Guess which one mine is? Right - the "please don't prune me" type. Anyway, I am lucky to have three neighbours on my street who have GORGEOUS clematis and I drive by them each day and admire their beauty. So here are a few photos for you to enjoy too. Aren't they wonderful? (Thanks to Don, Greg and David for allowing me to photograph their beauties!)
Peace,
Linda

Aren't they pretty! Clematis won't grow here, it's a bit too warm for them, but less than an hour away up in the hills where it's a bit cooler gardeners have success with them.
Beautiful! I don't have any luck with Clematis either. I have given up buying them and switched to Trumpet Vine...yes I know they are nothing alike except..they are both vines.

happy Sunday, your clematis blooms are gorgeous. Lovely images. Have a happy new week ahead!
These are beauties - I love clematis and LOVE PURPLE!
I love it, too! But it's so expensive, I've always been afraid to buy it and then kill it. Very pretty!
I am swooning over the multitude of purple colors! I had great luck with clematis at my previous home, and had poles set out for them to climb. I'm sorry that you aren't having much luck!
Gorgeous clematis blooms! The colours are wonderful...
