I feel like such a whiner for all my distress in Dec. Deirdre - Welcome to my sandbox! Karen & Melanthia - always love to hear from you! M. - "cataloging system" Holy cow!!! teach me your ways... Clematis cirrhosa 'Freckles' is hardy to 0 F. - evergreen in my area and I can really say that it is in scattered bloom throughout the entire year. My plant is old and craggy, lots of gnarled wood; doesn't seem to mind when periodically I get frustrated at the tangled mess and cut it back dramatically. I have it growing with Rosa 'Viechenblau' - the "blue" rose, which blooms in a single huge flush in summer. You'll have to wait for BBD June for pictures but I'll try and keep everyone apprised of 'freckles' throughout the year. Cheers, Lorene Carol – We are so lucky out here on the left coast!

Deirdre – Welcome to my sandbox!

Karen & Melanthia – always love to hear from you! M. – “cataloging system” Holy cow!!! teach me your ways…

I have one dark variety, purchased way back when I didn't have a catologng system. Recently picked up two more cream types. Love, love them. But oh, that double snowdrop. Very cool. You've got lots of great stuff going on, including your talk at the show. Still not sure which days I'll make it but have a great time. Oh now I want more Hellebores!

I will have to put that on my list for the Arboretum bulb sale next fall for sure. You have clematis blooming? Wow! My daphne looks kinda bad too, not even too many buds on it. I think it's sulking (aren't they famous for that?). Cool "garden art"! Good luck with your talk, I'm sorry to miss it but am sure it'll be splendid.

I enjoyed the site and am adding it to my blog roll. I totally agree that we should have a vegetable/flower garden on the front lawn of the white house!

There is certainly a lot blooming in your garden in February. I wonder if Clematis 'Freckles' might be hardy in zone 5? I love its little spotted blooms. Have fun at the flower show, and good luck with your talk. That was very enjoyable. There is certainly a lot blooming in your garden in February.
