HI all Happy Spring.. I have been catching up and reading many of the posts..

Big hello to Jeanne.. How is the amanda? Mine is doing great so far I saw 7 new shoots that are just emerging. I am so anxious to see the new growth with the varigated foliage.. I heard that she is a pretty hard one to find. The place where I bought her has only 8 comin in this year so if you decide that you need another, let me know..

Well the reason for my post is this I am looking for everyone to post some pics of their support system for your clems. I am trying to come up with some creative ways to get some clems up and going... I have stared building my own trellis's.. Last year I built an 8 -9 footer to support I think Jack. who was out of control last year. To buy the trellis would have cost me a fortune just for the height.

Well anyway, I have 3-4 clems in the gound in pots from last year that need a home. Plus I just ordered from Debbie Anna Lousie, Bourbon, LEmon Chiffon(shade) and Spider purple. Now all of these need a home.. PLUS which leads into the second question.. I am doing a shades of pink area where I would like to grow Confetti, Princess Diana and Avante Guard. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT COLOR? do you think that this wall of pink group 3's will be to much pink and I will loose the beauty of the individual flowers? Should I use contrast? I was planning on planting them pretty close together to fit a trellis made by me each clem would be about 6 inches away from the next in extremely composted soil.

well just need some thoughts.I would appreciate any help.
