More garden life

Since this is a vitual garden experience, I'm posting last summer's snapshot of Jackmanii, not the showiest of clematis, but a handsome, reliable performer, which blooms July to September adding a nice contrast to rosa Don Juan as well as Buff beauty. I'm always torn between the greedy desire for new flora and the pleasure of well-love combinations. Jackmanii has held three prime places in the garden for more than a decade.
