{Our Clematis Armandii - Fragrant Blooms on Evergreen Vine}


  • We used to have two beautiful Clematis Armandii vines but we lost the biggest one... Will show you later a photo of it. Too bad that those things do happen as this is a very hard to cultivate vine, Clematis Armandii: Wayside Gardens also has Clematis 'Apple Blossom'. Ours came from the Durio Nursery years ago and Pieter has managed to have some cuttings; hope they will survive! It is a spectacular evergreen vine with fragrant blooms in early spring!

  • This photo is taken on March 10.


  • This beauty we lost... Photo is from April 2, 2010... There is some chocolate vine 'Akebia quinata' growing into it.



  • This one is younger, grown from our own cuttings too and it is on the fence between our neighbors and us.


  • Still lots of buds to open up.


  • Again, we can enjoy these blooms from our bay window view.


  • Only one day later but now with full sun and blue sky.


  • Photo taken from our neighbor's property towards our home and around noon.


  • Above you can see the blossoms of the Red bud tree 'Cercis Canadensis' that is blooming now.

  15. Wat een mooie tuin en mooie planten hebben jullie. Ik heb gisteren een beetje in de tuin gedaan, want het zonnetje scheen heerlijk. In onze tuin was 3 jaar niets meer gedaan voordat wij er kwamen wonen. Het kost dus heel wat tijd om deze weer in orde te brengen en dan te bedenkend dat wij in NL een piepklein tuintje hadden met stenen Hihihi.

    Groetjes Sandy
