Don't you love it when you wake up in the morning and find the first blooms of a clematis? Today it was Madame Julia Correvon and Etoile Violette.
I've also been waiting for one of my mystery clems to bloom. The plant looked identical to The President - the leaf shape, the margins on the leaves, the stem color and size - all the same. This made sense because I had 2 that from a pack of 3 teeny bareroot plants that I found on clearance at walmart one year. One was dead in the package, one grew very well and is blooming nicely, but the other I didn't see bloom. The first bloom opened during the night, and to my surprise, it's not The President. I know I've seen this clematis before, but I can't think of the name.
Happy first day of summer!
