Oh they are lovely :)

You have some beautiful pairings, Suzy. Nice shots too.

And, I concur...best time of year for clematis lovers!

Bloomers

Wow Suzy!! No wonder you are such a pro on this board!! I am in love!!

Truly your 'Florida Sieboldi' is one of the most gorgeous I have seen so far!! I have a 'Dr Ruppel' that is paired with a pink knockout shrub rose, so I am looking forward to that combo over the years (just planted the Dr Ruppel). Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful - Thanks for sharing!!

Gorgeous Suzymac! You are one of the reasons that I went completely insane this spring and bought so many clematis! LOL. Your photos are inspirational and I can't wait until some of my little babies get that big!

Oh my goodness. Those take my breath away.

You've got some really lovely combinations!

Just awesome clematis plants, Suzy. Your garden photos are such delight to look at, giving me my first smile for the day!

Thank you for sharing.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but using one word... "beautiful". Thanks for all your help with my posted questions suzymac!

Your photo's are beautiful. I am especially jeolous of your Huldine. I have read so many posts raving about this clematis and have had no luck with it. I bought one 4 years ago and the first year it produced tons of foliage and no flowers. The second year it produced less foliage and no flowers. The third year it died. I am trying it one more time. Last year I planted it and this year it is producing lots of foliage again. There is not one single flower bud on it. I am fertilizing the same as all my other clematis and it is growing in a west exposure. I am going to give it one more year and then try something else. I don't know why I can't get this one to bloom. Karen

Karen, what fertilizer are you using ? Do you prune yours before the season starts ? Also, how much sun does your Huldine get ? This Huldine took 3-4 years to explode. It gets a half day of sun. This is the first year it has flowered this well and produced so many stems. Since that picture was taken it has even more flowers !
I think Huldine is a bit finicky at first, but when it gets going it is worth the wait. If I were you, I would try to get some 'Espoma Rose Tone fertilizer' if you can find it there. It has the perfect balance for clematis.
Suzy

as always, lovely Suzy!!!!!

Thanks for the advice Suzy. I fertilize them with liquid miracle grow formulated for tomatoes. I have 70 clematis and they all bloom but this one. It gets at least 8-10 hours of sun a day and I cut it back hard every spring. I guess I will give it a few years and hopefully it will flower for me ehen it matures. I will try the fertilizer you recommend. Thanks. Karen

Suzy..as usual your Clematis are just breathtakingly beautiful..I love the Rose and Clematis Combo of course..thanks for sharing...jeanne
