Philadelphia is warmer climate than western Pa.. I notice your Nellies are more white than pink.. Mine are more pink than white.

Love your clematis..........
Your a week ahead ..Mine just started.

flowers are greatly appreciated here..
Thanks Jiffy.

Thanks for lookin in.

my peonies and clematis are long gone. Glad you both posted.

[color:#009900] Joclyn, I do nothing to the climatis.. No trim or any thing.. Cause I dont know which type you trim.. I aren't up on these.....I just built the crazy frame........ Glad mom nature helped.

Thanks Joclyn, and Bestofour...........Were are both in Penna. but still have different climate.
JOclyn do get any snow there at all?/color]

gorgeous barb just beutiful my friend! hey there what kind of clematis is that? and where did u get it?

Hi toposh

The clematis is called Nellie Mosser.......
It has been here for a while, So I arent sure of where it was bought .. Probably at some store here.......My first I think.

Thanks .........for looking

Ps .......Becky has a datura blooming from my seeds......She is so happy to be able to grow flowers......This is her first attempt..

thank you for the information! and becky should feel so porud of herself im sure its just gorgous! please have her take a pic i want to see it shes just like her aunt she has a green thumb!

Did someone say peonies? I love peonies and yours look fantastic. I also love your clematis. That is a wow-er. 2 years from now when I've turned my clay into soil I'll be looking to trade you for seeds of that one.

thanks for posting.

Thanks TOposh, thanks tkhooper,

Peony come from roots ,,,,,,seeds??????? I can give roots.. This fall when I send tulips , Perhaps I will give you a root or 2.. It takes quite a while to form one like mine....................

toposh I am hunting a photo......Just remember she has less flowers than you.. Just begun.

Thanks for being kind to her.....

GORGEOUS!!!!!!

Gonna 'borrow' your pic of the Clematis to show my sister if you don't mind. She wants one and this is a beaut!!!

Question: Anybody know if they do well in zone 8a?

I believe I read in Gurney catalog zone 8 or 9.

Yes you may borrow it .Hope she likes it.

I made a mess of my post lol. I have 6 peonies either here or on order so I don't need anymore of them well other than a double bloom yellow and orange one that is. But, when you harvest your clematis seeds I'd love it if you set aside a few for me. As you know I believe in specimen gardens and I'd love to have that clematis in my trellis garden around my shed. Or atleast that's the plan. Right now I have my onions planted back there. You wouldn't believe the amount of weeding I have to do. It's going to take some work...it really is.

Beautiful blooms both of you!

Thanks Chermoni,

Tk That is fine...Our heads all get clogged....
Now I will collect Nelly Moser seeds, but I must say, I have never been able to get any to grow for me.Some lady is tryin to do some for me.......It is very difficult I been told.


But I will save some..

Thanks. She likes it very much!!

I bought it as a plant.. Took quite a while to do that..However in a warmer climate I think it happens quicker......
seeds are very hard to germinate.....i never got one to do it.

difficult huh? Well maybe I better pass on that one then. Maybe I'll see a plant sometimes. I do have seeds for two other clematis. I'll probably be starting those next year. We'll see. There is so much to do lol.

Dificult or not , I will save you some seeds....I been trying all year and still have seed in the hot cable..Not one bloomed. THey have to be stratified to grow so I did that, nothing happened. :ding:Glad your busy.

Dodge - that picture of your clematis is absolutely stunning!!!
It would make a great wallpaper on a computer - so full and lush looking!!!

Thanks alot Potnplants......

I have a huge white hibiscus with a red eye on the wall paper and I seem to love it .. I will add clematis tothe library.

Thanks for looking......
