I know some are on dialup so I thought I would break-up this post into two parts...My Clematis are starting up again...
Clematis "Purpea Plens Elegans" and "Comtesse de Bouchard" is planted with my climbing rosa "New Dawn"..they are wayyyyyy up in the top!!

I'm debating whether I should relocate Clematis "Rhapsody" now that my climbing roses have eaten up all the sun above him..he did finally pop out some blooms for me tho!Love the anthers on this one

Since I have three of these..one of my own choosing and 2 because of mislabeling..I always have blooms of "Ernest Markham"..some where in the gardens

and then there is "Claire"..yummy isn't she!

One of my favourite "thugs" in my garden from that infamous polish monk..."Polish Spirit"

Clematis "Mrs. Cholomondeley" is growing up one of the post on the Pergola..naughty girl..has gone over and mingled with Montana "Spooneri"

The crinums are sending up more and more stalks..gotta love "Bradley"

Clematis "Kermesina" giving me her first blooms of the season..really tough trying to photograph her as she is a nodder of sorts

Another Spider Daylily I got from the Co-op this year..."Winds of Love"..this one is HUGE

I took this shot so you can see just the way it "lays"...

Jeanne! These (both posts) are all absolutely lovely! What a great way to start my day...looking at all your gorgeous blooms.

Thanks for sharing your garden!

Thanks..glad yall enjoyed

As always, its all just beautiful... Love the pics of your garden....

Oh there so Purdy Jeanne..
love that lily..I am a member of the
yahoo co-op ..
there doing fall order's now

What a splendor going on in Texas Jeannne! You've beautified the state all by yourself! What if you couldn't buy another plant... Could these sustain you girlfriend?

I think I am missing something here.
what is this place you get lilies through yahoo co-op? Is that one of their groups. I used to do genealgogy through groups started some others and then lapsed for years. Should I join a garden group? What is it like.?

Jeanne, Thanks for your pics..they are beautiful. I am glad you posted the picture of your Comtesse DeBouchard so I could compare it to mine. When we moved here in 2005, I found a partially broken plant id tag near by and I was never certain if it was that variety or not. Now I'm convinced. I see you have the same metal id tags as we do. I ordered mine from Gardener's Supply. Do you think that one can spray silver paint over the magic marker and then reuse it? Some of my blue salvia never came back this year and I'm stuck with an ID tag and no plant like it says. I thought about getting a can of spray paint and redo it silver, in case I need it for some other plant. Think it will work? Do you buy your clematis locally or order from catalogues? I would love to have another Comtesse de Bouchard right beside the other one, as it has been just beautiful this year.Everybody that comes by comments on it. The siding workman pretty well damaged the Dr. Ruppel but it will get prunned in the fall.Bought another variety(Westerplatte)this summer; seems to have also taken some damage from workmen and some of its leaves are turning brown. Do you think I should prune it this Fall or just leave it as is? Don't know what category it is in, are you familiar with this variety? We had a Nirobe at our other house and it was beautiful but didn't grow that tall on the trellis my husband made. The new owner of our previous house asked me about it recently. I suggested that he might want to move it somewhere else to a lower trellis.

Simply gorgeous!
