Don't you just love clematis? The beautiful plum colored one above is called Ville de Lyon and it is one of my favorites.This one is growing up the old birdhouse from the Christmas Tree Shop several years ago.
What about you are you plum crazy too?We had another shower last night -so happy to hear the rain coming down. It is impossible to water all of our garden and even just watering the planters and windowboxes and newly planted roses.trees etc. is somewhat time consuming. The sun is shining now and it is supposed to be a beautiful sunny weekend again. We are having a sleepover with our grandchildren and their parents tonight-should be fun!
Enjoy your weekend!

So beautiful. The birdhouse is incredible. Your rose bush looks a lot like Knockout roses. We have a few of those here. Very prolific bloomers.
Hi Carolyn,
Your birdhouse and flowers are beautiful! Amazing photo's. Here, we finally have some cooler weather and much needed rain. Have a wonderful weekend with your family.
Blessings,

Just beautiful how the clematis conquer the bird house: ♥
Hi Caroline: The clematis around the bird house is just lovely. How do you keep it from overtaking the bird house? I never know the right time to prune and how much..Happy Friday..Judy
What a cute idea to have the clematis grow up the bird house- very original.Love your pictures- gorgeous colours!
Yes I love clematis too- I was planning to grow a red and purple one together in a tree in the frontgarden , then whilst weeding this Spring I cut off the red one - aaargh.. I am hoping it will come back next year!!
So very pretty Carolyn! I agree with you, plum is a very pretty colour!
Wish you a wonderful weekend! After three weeks of rain (feels like it) we have our first sunny weekend :-)

Just beautiful. I enjoyed looking at all your beautiful photos, your garden and surrounding countryside is so lush and pretty.
Your pictures are simply beautiful! What a lucky lady to be surrounded by such beauty.

Georgous! One of my favorite colors.
I am "plum crazy" too...and I loved these plum colored clematis!!!! And the double petunias. You sure have the "touch" and such an eye for beauty!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gardens with us! I love them.

Fabulous, fabulous, my heart is dancing thanks to your images!

That plum color is gorgeous!
Beautiful images, Carolyn! Your flowers look so much better than mine right now. So much heat, humidity, and lack of rain down here. The poor plants have almost gone dormant! So I truly love seeing the beauty that surrounds your sweet home! :)

Such a dreamy collection of images, Carolyn! And yes, with so many wonderful perennials in the purple/plum range, I definitely am plum crazy.
I have three Clematis Rosemoor and the color is breathtaking!
Thank you for another lovely tour. – g
I love looking at the picture of your garden! We are in such a severe drought that it is difficult just to keep everything alive. Viewing your pictures is just what a gardening soul needs!
Thank you!
I just love that birdhouse! The clematis is beautiful. Oh how that would look so awesome on my property. Will have to consider planting a clematis next year.
