    Such a pleasure to see your blooms. Builds my anticipation for mine. Thanks for sharing.

    What is the second to last variety? Looks like the one needing an ID at the above link.

  • 10 years ago

    The second to last looks like HF Young to me. One of my favorites. :-)

    Your Clematis are really beautiful, and I love your Wooden trellises!

    Maximus2015,

    My trellises are not wood. They are made out of TREX decking material. These are left over pieces that I had after a deck project. I make my own trellises. They last longer than wood. The ones I have right now, are around ten years old. I also use fishing lines on these to aid the clematis climb. Pampered clematis LOL. I was smitten by clematis bug 12 years ago and have kept on adding. I have now about 50 different plants. Ran out of sunny spots in my one acre yard. Now only shade or deep shade spots are left. So I have slowly moved into planting Hellebores. Hellebores are also the same family as clematis. They are not vines and does not need any trellis support. Further they thrive in shade.

    Great. I could definitely use your help and advice with My Clematis ......I have a major problem going on with mine .... Can you help me ?

  • 10 years ago

    No problem. I can help you. I am still learning though. This forum was great help.

  • 10 years ago

    aluvaboy .... ok......it's best converse via Email so I can explain my problem issues with my Clematis. Is that ok ?

    More of my Clematis in Bloom

  • 10 years ago

    Love that one in the deck pot. :-)


    I gotta ask -- what is that fence-enclosed structure behind the clems in the sixth pic? Inquiring minds are dying of curiosity.

    That is my vegetable garden. See the picture below. Hey I have lot of free time at my hand. I work just 4 days (10 hours). So gets three day weekends.

    Verrrrrrry impressive. Come build me some of that!

    Beautiful clems. I got addicted to them as well once I started looking at garden forums.

    That one is Clematis Carnaby. I bought it from Walmart five years ago. The last two years it has been flowering profusely. Hope this info helps.

  • 10 years ago

    natureinspired, If you like Carnaby, check out Piilu, (sometimes called little duckling in the US) as well. First blooms from previous year's vines are double, later blooms from new growth are single.

  • 10 years ago

    @aluvaboy thanks for sharing the name. I can see your plant is compact in size and literally covered in flowers. Love it.

    @NHBabs thanks for the suggestion. Yes I love the color combination of Carnaby. Googled for some images of little duckling and have to say I'm totally hooked. It's like getting Carnaby with a double bonus

    Btw one dumb question, how did you create hyperlink for my name? I thought FB trick of adding @ in front of the name would do the trick...it clearly did not work

    My Carnaby is reluctant to climb on to the trellis. It is sitting on a very sunny deck. I tried a few times to tie it on to the trellis and gave up. During the flowering season a least 50 new shoots emerge from the pot. I never overwinter them. It sits on the deck year round. Most shoots instead of climbing on to the trellis cascade down. Hence the current effect. The only fertilizer, I use is alfalfa pellets from Tractor Supply and occasional Alaska fish fertilizer slurry - just in case you are interested.

    Some more Clematis pictures from 2016

  • 10 years ago

    Wow, I'm envious of all the clematis you have! They are all lovely! I especially like the white with mauve centre - it's very different. Thanks for sharing!

    For some reason I am unable to post Photo's of my Clematis - Can someone help me?

  • 10 years ago

    I'm not an expert with this forum but when I click in the box to 'comment' on something, just below are a bunch of options (bold, italic, etc.) and one of them is 'photo'. When I click on that it asks me if I want to take a picture or go to my library. I usually go to my library and just select the photo I want and it loads. You have to do this for each photo. Hopefully, this helps a bit.

  • 10 years ago

    Try using your laptop or desktop computer instead of an iPad. I find it easier that way. Type your message and then click on the camera icon to choose the picture. As serendipity44(5) suggested you will have to do this for each picture.

  • 10 years ago

    I am using my Laptop computer - I don't own an IPad. It still doesn't work. I click on 'photo', chose my picture, but it doesn't work. When I click on 'photo' it does NOT ask mme if I want to take a picture or go to my library. So I don't know what is wrong and why I can't download and post photo's.

  • 10 years ago

    After choosing the photo from your picture folder, there are two options "open" and "open as read only". Choose the "open" option, and the picture should immediately populate into Houzz. Could be that you are using the "open as read only" option. Just toggle to change it to "open" . I tried to paste a screen shot, but since the file size was too large, it did not allow me to post. Try the above and post back. If it doesn't work, please provide a phone # where you can be reached. I will walk you thru.

    natureinspired, I just used copy and paste from your name in your post to create the hyperlink. I think that then you are notified that I used your name. Is that correct?

    Aluvaboy, I love the juxtaposition of the cactus and Carnaby! You have some lovely plants and have clearly been bitten by the clematis bug. I am also enjoying the variety and creativity of your trellising structures.

    maximus2015, I don't know what you are using for a browser, but I have seen mentioned that some versions of Microsoft Explorer don't upload photos well. Others have said that changing browsers to Chrome or Foxfire (both reliable browsers with free downloads) or using a different version of Explorer will solve the issue with photo uploading on GW. My problem with uploads is that I live in a rural area with the only options for internet involve extremely slow uploads, several minutes per photo, so I don't post many photos due to the time involved.
