Gorgeous (particularly the last shot :-)! How old are those? Names?

Wish mine are that lush and full of blooms...
what am I doing wrong?!

What happy plants! Wire supports have just been discussed in another thread. Do you buy a roll of the green wire, cut off sections & then attach them? Photo #5 shows the vertical sections attached at top & middle by horizontal sections. Do the horizontal sections come ready made? How do you attach the wire to the fence? Do you buy the wire at a place like Lowe's & is there a name for it? Thanks & congratulations!

piksi, I want to know the same thing too! What am I doing wrong? Joe, your's are always so lush and full! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing photos of your beautiful clematis.

What kind of fuel did you use on them, they are gorgeous.

the plants are various ages from 2 years and up. some of the oldest are over 10 years or more. the pics include from group III 'Blekitny Aniol' 'Emilia Plater' 'Perle d'Azur' 'Wisley' 'Victoria' 'Etoile Violette'
I feed them bone meal and tomato fertilizer in the spring and fall and compost heavy in the fall.
The wire is actually green vinyl coated chain link fencing. I purchased pieces from a local fence company and attached the pieces to heavy duty screw hooks placed into the wood fence. I did this several years ago and it was a lot of work. These days you can find other fencing products that work just as well if not better and are much easier to install.

Thanks so much, Joe, very helpful.

Beautiful!!

What gorgeous clematis! You have the magic touch. Thanks for sharing those pictures with us.

Well, I find it extremely hard to like you!! Could you please tell us what kind of soil you have? I only have one or two that grow like that. I have to remake soil every time I plant anything. I live on a gyp hill, actually the old Boot Hill. I really can't call this stuff soil.
