Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous. :-)

You have a good camera, you've captured those blues pretty accurately. (I've seen a couple of those in person, so I trust the others are similarly representational.) It's good to know that sun helps with the "blueness."

Miguel,

Just gorgeous! A walk through your yard must be absolutely enchanting. How big is your yard and how many different clemmies do you have?

Thank you so much for sharing. Will you also be sharing pinks, reds and whites?

Wow, I love those blues. What beautiful photo's. My Perle de Azur and EM are just starting to bloom. They have really grown in size and should put on a good show this year. Keep the photo's coming. Karen

Thanks everyone. Glad you liked the shots.

Carolyn, I have posted quite a few pictures in the past on various threads showing differnt colored clematis. All my pictures for the past couple of years are posted on my photobucket account at the following address so anyone can view them at their leisure.

The yard is only 1/3 of an acre with most of the grass removed since it browns out anyway in our summer heat and infrequent rain. To make matters worse, the people on either side of me have inground sprinkler systems which only makes my grass look that much worse! LOL

I used to have spreadsheets with all the clematis and their locations but after several computer crashes I have thrown the towel in with trying to keep up with them. I lost track when I got over 100 or so in the garden--although some have died over the years, some have been removed, and of course others have been added!

I really like the Perle growing through the shrub.

I'm glad Wisley looks like your picture and not like the one on the tag. I have it planted on the same trellis as Vesuvius, Pagoda,& Huldine, and was starting to think that it might be too much like V, which I know from last year's blooms is quite dark. V & H are shooting up to the sky and have buds, but W is only about half that size because the first stems wilted back after I bought it in April or May. Pagoda was just bought Thursday.

Wow, what impressive blooms! Over a hundred!!! Wisley looks like a real winner. I might add it to my list. Brandy

Miguel..your gardens are more stunning than they were last year..only better and better..woohoo..love those shades of blues...'cause they make me happy!!...some of my pruning group 3's are starting to bloom for round 2...Jeanne

Juuli and her host, Crimson Pygmy barberry.

Both plants are about a year old so distance pictures aren't very impressive.

I have Juuli also BorS and love her more than Arabella. She has been blooming nonstop for me with deadheading. That's her in the bottom right corner.

Your photos are always fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

Karen

100+ clematis? And I thought my 30+ was a large collection. :-) Must be fun to walk around the garden looking at each and everyone of them.

buyorsell, those photos are beautiful. Mine never look half as good. Great photography. :-)

Thank you :) There are plenty of lousy ones where those came from ;)

I haven't had to deadhead Juuli yet, she is going and going.

BorS, I don't have to deadhead Juuli either. She was full of old flowerheads and still blooming when I last pulled them off on Saturday. I just like to prevent any of the old seedheads from maturing if they are fertilized. Just like any other plant, clematis will stop blooming if they think they have produced progeny for the next year.

Miguel, what a wonderful display! I love the "bluer" clematis. Your garden is so beautiful.

BorS, love your photo's too! I don't have Juuli. I need to correct that omission.

Carol

You guys in this clematis forum are going to start costing me some serious money. All the photos are inspirational and breathtaking.

Nickvilledudes---love your yard and Zack is beautiful as well.

Zack is quite the character Jeanr. Photographs don't begin to capture his eccentricities.
