After three years, our clematis vines are finally blooming. We have three of them; one is blooming profusely, one is blooming a little, and one is lagging. I really like clematis and would enjoy getting even more of them, but I want to experiment with the locations that we have now to see what works in our yard.
This is the clematis jackmanii, which is planted on the east side of the house, near our blueberry area. It gets sun light until early afternoon and is on our visual path as we walk into the house. It's a really pleasant pick-me-up to see the lovely purple blooms when we walk into the back door.
Our garden helpers are always out with us in the yard "helping". And by helping I
mean getting in the way at every available opportunity and sticking
their noses into the dirt. Shaak Ti has a tendency to stand right where you want to pull weeds.
Shadowfax inspects the new metal butterfly garden sculpture we received from Alycia's parents. They purchased two of them at a recent Gardening Day event here in town and placed them superstitiously in our backyard while we were on vacation. They're sneaky like that.

The doggie photos are so cute. Hiding behind the big butterfly is such a great capture.
Thanks Donna! We've had a bunny on the back yard for the past few weeks, so every trip outside means the dogs need to look behind/under everything to see if they can find their bunny friend.
