Julia challenged us to use a photo today for the Ways to Use It Challenge found on the home page. I bought this dying clematis plant at an end of the season sale 2 years ago and planted it at the base of my clothesline pole. Last year 57 huge flowers. This year 49 amazing huge flowers. I'm so glad I gave it another chance.
Thanks Julia.
Thanks for looking.

WOW! This just jumped right off the page at me! Love the colors, the layout, the sentiment. Wish I had your green thumb... my poor neglected clematis has one lonely flower. hehe

Beautiful! I have that same purple clematis climbing up the pole that my birdhouse and feeders hang on. It is so gorgeous and I have so many people ask me what kind of clematis it is, but I don't even remember!
Love the trio of ribbons under your sentiment!
