This petunia is doing so well. It has a very nice fragrance also.
My mother's planter is doing great, almost hiding the little angel.
Wow, look at our clematis !! it is loaded with blooms and buds. I think they may all bloom out today, as the sun is shining . :):)
Ted made this chicken wire nailed to 2x4's for a frame. This clematis still had the be tied up with some twine.
Looks so pretty, I wish I had more of them around the property.
This is some coral bells at the back along side some lilies. When I planted this coral bell , it was one plant, but it spread out as if it were a vine type plant. I have never had this happen before.
As I said , the sun is out and it is looking pretty here...at least right now. :):) I have some painting to finish up today. Have to finish, sick of looking at the mess. I'll show all of you what I have been doing when it's done. LOL.
Enjoy this wonderful Saturday . XO
Beautiful purple flowers. I love purple clematis. I plant a lot of violas and there's a lot of purple in those. Coral bells is a wonderful plant. I keep a pot of it around all the time.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I do love this clematis.. I like the color of the coral bell's leaves. the actual flower is so tiny. When there's no flower the leaves of plants help add color to flowerbeds. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love that beautiful clematis! I'm wondering will it bloom all summer where you are? I don't think it blooms here in the summer. But I can't remember. I like flowers that spread. Unless they are obnoxious, that is.
ReplyDeleteThe is the sad part of growing a clematis..once the beautiful flower are spent, they don't keep blooming thru summer. Oh once I plant a little plant called chamelian ..it took over. Scary. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou must like purple flowers. They are all beautiful. What a lovely yard. I could spend some time out there.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I did not plan on so much purple...it seems to have just happened. LOL I truly like to sit out on the porch and enjoy being outside. Hope you are getting out this weekend.Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou have such pretty flowers! I love them, that clematis is to die for!!

Kay, I had a purple clematis when we lived in town...but it never got this big. Now I wish I had planted a couple more. LOL. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI just love purple flowers of all kinds. Your Clematis looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, My mom loved purple best too. I do love my clematis...this is the best one I have grown. Blessings to you, Xoxo, Susie
DeletePurple is such a refreshing color in the yard. Love all your variety of purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteWanda, The first flowers we ever had in a yard growing up..was mom's irises and lilacs. They were at the house when we moved there...so they became mommy's favorite of all time. I may have to post a couple more pictures of the clematis once all the buds have bloomed. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat lovely flowers and their color is truly brilliant. Did I say, I love purple???
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, Glad you like our purple flowers. Today I looked at the clematis and it's about all bloomed now, Hope you are having some good spring weather there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOur clematis is pink, and it is not, not, not out yet. :-)
ReplyDeleteTessa
Tessa, I sure hope you will post a photo of your pink clematis. I had mauve colored one here,always in the sun and it just last two years, never had many blooms...but I often think ,"what if I had planted it in a different spot?" I would love to try some more. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful flowers! That clematis is absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Thank you Judy. I loved your new screen and what a great room to do crafts there. I can not leave comment on your site..so when you come here I get to tell you how much I have enjoyed your blog. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove, love, love all of your pretty purple flowers, Susie! I really enjoy purple outside! It's so eye catching and beautiful! Enjoy your weather and those flowers! Blessings, Cindy xo
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I think this clematis will finish blooming out this weekend...we had had sunshine . I got to sit out and enjoy the birds too. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour flowers look wonderful. I just planted a clematis and I hope it take hold well. I had a cedar trellis that I dug out and Ihope it likes growing on it. I like the way yours is sort of mounded together- makes for a showy display. I planted a bunch of coral bells and enjoy watching them each year. I had no idea that there were so many varieties available in them. A few have died off so I'm sticking with the hardiest ones. I think they have kind of a tuberous rooting system so I guess that's why yours spread like that. Looking great!
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, I think with your green thumb, you will have no worries about growing a clematis. I did not know that about coral bells. I had planted many before and none took off like these at the back of the house. I love their color mixed in with green plants. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThese purple flowers are stunning, Susie. I love purple so much that I bought a bunch of purple flowers at the nursery and planted them. After planting them, it didn't look like very many at all; they always seem like more in the containers at the nursery. Your mom's planter is so charming with the purple and yellow flowers.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, Once your purple flower take hold they will bloom more. I am loving the little petunia on the porch table. I sit by it and can smell it's fragrance while I am writing letters to my sisters. Blessings for some happy gardening. xoxo, love you, Susie
