First, Crab Apple begins to bloom. Then, early clematises follow. Alpina Willy, Montana Elizabeth, and Montana Rubens. Their pink flowers look like cherry blossoms in full bloom. | ***** |
* Clematis Alpina Willy
I have long dreamed of seeing the soft pink flowers in my garden. Before getting this and even after that. |
After three years, it had several flowers. I had to wait for a few more years to see the tens of flowers in full bloom. |
After Alpina Willy, Montana Elizabeth (behind) begins to bloom. |
The flowers of Alpina Willy bloom dropping their heads. Their nodding flowers look so lovely! |
* Montana Rubens on the west grapevine trellis
Montana Rubens blooms all over the grapevine trellis. |
The grapevine is wholly covered with Montana Rubens. Montana is favorably treated in my garden. |
Its rapid growth had been our big problem and suddenly one day, it withered partly. Plants are unreliable. Next spring the flowers bloomed again, and I felt at ease. |
