Thistle Do you Have Sweet Summer Clematis?

Thistle if you can't find it near you let me know and I will send you one.

That's so sweet!

Wow bay you have passion vine growing wild!! Here it is a very costly potted plant. I do have a wild clematis growing in the woods at country house, but it is nothing like the ones for garden. Small blue flower,mostly leaves.

They grow wild here. I had some last year in the overgrown pasture, but got it mowed this spring. I'll go look and see if it came back and if I can lay hands on some seed pods. Maybe I need to plant one on the property we are buying... They can actually be a nuisance here, growing on fences and vining everywhere. But I think they are beautiful, the seed pod is supposed to be edible, but have not embarked on that culinary journey. Would you like seed if I get my grubby hands on some?

Thanks but I have no luck with seeds, There not as forgiving about not getting watered.

Yes he is sweet. (But so are you!) The plants you sent last year are thriving.

Hey @Nyboy! Guess what? I stopped by my favorite nursery yesterday to line up some plants for a client and figured I'd check the shade house where they keep the clems just for grins.

I walk in and the very first clematis I see is Sweet Summer Love!
It had it's little arms held out waiting for me to pick it up....

When I was paying one of the nursery employees walks in and said, "Oh, I guess I'm too late, I was going to buy that one. It's the last one we have." Whew! I nearly missed it!

I'm so excited! Now I have to figure out where to plant it.
Something may be getting bumped out of the way....

Thistle, good thing you jumped on it. Many times I hesitate thinking it's an impulse buy and then I regret it. It think it was meant to be!

Sounds like it was ment to go home with you.

 

[Nyboy]

Mary I know that feeling of disappointment when you go back for somethng and its gone.

Nyboy, that usually happens to me when on a road trip. I'll mention to my husband that I'd like to stop and he says we'll stop on the way back. Well that never happens. Now I've learned to say "you stop this friggin car right now or I'll jump out"! Ha
