Who ever heard of a clematis taking 4 years to bloom! It's hard to believe, but that's how long I've been waiting.What a joy to finally see flower buds after such a long wait. What color would it be, I wondered. How large, what type? You see this is one of those plants I purchased from a discount store so long ago I'm not even sure of the variety. It was one of those bare rooted plants packed in a plastic bag with several others.
It's been through a lot. I moved it from one state to another, and from here to there in my garden hoping it would take off. Finally, it seems content. I'm not sure I thought I would see this day. What a pleasure to see this lovely purple flower. I just wish I knew what it is!
