Bloom

My Clematis-es are finally starting to come out. I had just planted thes last year, and they didn't see to do very well over the summer and into the fall. I thought they had died.

Decided I would "wait them out" and see if they did anything this spring, and they are taking off. Each of the two have 5 -6 blooms, and new vines starting to snake out.

Gives me incentive to finish the railing on the deck so they have something to hold on to.

(Apologies for not posting this yesterday, but spent the majority of the morning at the DMV getting the Van, Scooter and the new tent trailer "legal". Shortly after this picture was taken, a good friend called with a bit of a family crisis - this tied me up for most of the day)
